Puzzling role of genetic risk factors in human longevity: "risk alleles" as pro-longevity variants.

abstract：:During the evolution of hominids, the population could be sustained even with an expectation of life at birth of less than 20 years. Under these circumstances very few individuals reached old age. In these hunter-gatherer communities, altruistic behaviour was encouraged because it increased the likelihood of survival,...
