It is axiomatic that the older the parent at the time that the offspring are concieved, the more likelihood the longevity gene is passed on.<br /><br />If a parent has survived healthily enough to remain fertile concieve at 50 the chances are that the child will be able to breed at that age - and thus our life expectancy is increasing across the species.<br /><br />It's not just better health care and living standards at play here.Electro-Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18073103431166273080noreply@blogger.com
