    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 Aging is not simply a result of wear and tear. Some animals, such as mice and bats, have a fast metabolism, but their life spans are still shorter than humans.

    #2 Aging is not simply a matter of inevitable wear and tear. Mother Nature can determine how fast an animal species wears and how long it can live. If she wants to, she can even arrange for living creatures or cells to not wear or age at all.

    #3 The myth of aging is that it allows older animals to make room for younger ones. However, this theory does not explain why we grow older in the first place. In nature, most animals die before they can grow old, so why would older animals need to make room for younger ones.

    #4 The average life span of an animal species is determined by the average time that the animal can survive in the wild. If an animal species can survive longer in the wild, it will age at a slower rate and have a longer life span.
