Here’s a news flash that isn’t really new: the rich live longer than everyone else. Now, on the surface, this seems like a no-brainer. The ability to afford the best of everything should translate into better health while the inability to pay for even basic care, not to mention preventative medicine, is going to cut a person’s life short. For the threshold of the average human life span to surpass say 100 years, everyone should live like the rich do. The upper class has access to better resources, such as quality food and health care. They are also more informed, have the best education and have access to more opportunities. As a result, all of these factors collectively contribute to an improved quality of life. And if infomercials for juicers have taught us anything it’s that a better quality of life extends longevity. Via Szabolcs Kósa

He has shown that by delaying breeding, he can extend their offsprings’ lifespans over the long run—up to eighty generations down the line. While this may seem like a bit of a let-down, he explains that it is through understanding these mechanisms that we learn how to harness them.
