Sex and Aging: The Theory of the "Prized Son"

Authors: Joao Carlos Holland Barcellos

After highlighting where some of the most well-known theories about aging and death fall short, we will propose a new theory that explains sexual reproduction and aging. In this theory, both sexual reproduction and senescence emerge as Darwinian adaptations. A mechanism that circumvents group selection is also suggested. We will then develop the "Equation of Death," which establishes species longevity as a function of parameters related to their prey and predators.
