Did you know that the lobster's life cycle with high levels of the telomere is beneficial to them? First, even though lobsters can live as long as 70 years old about 15% dies in molding. Secondly, between 5,000-100,000 eggs produced about 50% of the eggs will be a meal to marine life. Thirdly, the population is controlled by predators (including humans). I believe that it would not be worth the investment to increase our telomere just to slow down our aging process. The following reasonings to why: What are the effect of increasing the human's telomere? Would the increase of telomere increase the chances of cancer or other illness? Would this increase our population drastically? If so do we run out of resources faster and repeat the great depression

The water that is used for irrigating crops is lost as runoff, or seeps into the ground, and cannot be recycled or used again.

    Human Survivorship Changes

    Everyone wishes that they could live forever; sadly we haven’t come up with the answer to prolonging life yet. In this lab the goal was to study the ages of people who died in different generations, in order to find out what the life expectancy would be for someone living in that time. This information could be viable proof weather or not people are beginning to live longer. The times that we were interested in were male and female that lived and died before 1920, also male and female that died after 2001. The Death Date and Age at Death were recorded for twenty female and twenty male for each of the centuries. The predictions for this Lab are that Man and Woman who died in the 21st century lived longer than those who lived in the 18th century. We also found that woman would not live as long as men in the 18th century but would live longer than men in the 21st century.…

    The aging phenomenon has several combining factors that play a part of the growing population; Age Dynamics: The elevated fertility rate (baby boom) from 1946 to 1964.

Longevity increase: Life expectancy has increased 20 years due in part to improvements in healthcare and medical technology "The growing number of older adults increases demands on the public health system and on medical and social services.' ‘Chronic diseases, which affect older adults disproportionately, contribute to disability, diminish quality of life, and increased health and long-term care costs" (CDC, 2003).

    Longevity in Human Evolution

    Diamond suggests one advantage that progressed through the evolutionary tree, is longevity. We will discuss the reasons for longevity in the evolvement of the human species. Diamond addresses through chapter seven, how aging and menopause are strongly connected to longevity. Men and women have been tested in various different ways to solve the mystery behind the theory that reproduction is the cause of post-generative longevity. Another benefit Diamond writes about is how technology is a big step toward progressing how lives much further then it was one hundred thousand years ago. The one theory written progressively is one of Charles Darwin’s ‘Theory of Natural Selection’ which is one of the theories much argued about today. These topics, as well as being spoken about in Diamond’s book, are heavily argued about whether the theories are believable to endure human longevity to an increased size.…

The population of older adults over the age of 65 years is expected to increase from 35 million in 2000 to 70 million by the year 2030.

Every aspect of the body changes, from the skeletal system to the muscular to the cardiopulmonary system, even down the integumentary system.…

They dated the turtle to be sixty million years old and named it Puentemys mushaisaensis because the skeleton was found in the Cerrejon Coal Mine. This mine was made famous with the discovery of Titanoboa, the world’s biggest fresh water snake. Also it was here where the discovery of the world’s largest fresh water turtle was found, Carbonemys, which is as big as a smart car. The discoveries of the Cerrejon Coal Mine allow opportunity’s to understand the origins of diversity in the last sixty million years. The Puentemys Mushaisaensis is most interesting for its shell, which is extreamly round and as big as a car tire. Researchers say that the turtles round shape could have warded off predators and helped to keep the animals body temperature regulating.…
