The monkey is also the same as the old man

The aging process in humans is similar to that of many primates. Studying them can see the life limit of a human life and the causes of aging to prolong life.

Until now, the medical doctors still believe that, the life expectancy of people is unique in the biological world, in that they still maintain all normal activities after the period of possible birth and delivery. end.

Aging and human death are identical to primates.

In a recent study, the authors stated that these hypotheses are not true, because the risk of dying from natural causes increases with age in humans is the same in 7 types of primates from the largest type. like chimpanzees to the smallest type like long-tailed monkeys.

When analyzed, scientists used statistics on the number of deaths due to age (called natural death or old death) provided by the US Department of Health and Social Security. The same parameters for primates for the first time are statistically based on observing, monitoring and recording the status of their wild populations in nature for 25 years.

The authors of the study wrote: " The older you are, the greater the risk of death in humans is in primates, although living in nature the organisms often die because of risk factors. ro that humans don't usually meet '.

Moreover, primates resemble humans in a characteristic of females that live longer than males, except for one species - which males are often 'seven-year-old' - males and females have longevity. Equal.

'Although in recent times, medicine has contributed to increasing the life expectancy of people, but in fact in the past there were people who lived longer than the record of the life of the tools today. Comparing humans to species allows us to believe that we are more likely to prolong life ' - Susan Alberts, Duke biologist, Duke University, one of the co-authors of this study. to speak.
