Human Life Span Will Continue to Increase, Researchers Suggest

— ‘University of California, Davis researchers propose that, among humans and other social species, a long life span is a desirable trait that has developed through the evolutionary process. In fact, their model of longevity suggests that long life spans among social species offer benefits conducive to even longer life spans in successive generations. Extension of the life span is a “self-reinforcing” process, they propose.’
