For centuries people have been puzzled by the inevitability of human ageing. For most of the second half of the twentieth century ageing remained a mystery, or an unsolved biological problem. At the end of the 20th century, a remarkable scientific discovery emerged. It was not a single discovery in the usual sense, because it was based on a series of important interconnected insights over quite a long period of time. These insights made it possible for the very first time to understand the biological reasons for ageing in animals and man. It can already be said, however, that the many observations and insights that explain ageing will not be accepted as established knowledge for a long time. The field is still full of scientists, and non-scientists, who are just happy to go on speculating about the "mystery" of ageing. The aim of this book is to dispel ignorance by explaining what are the reasons of ageing and the myth of excessive prolongation of life in non-technical language.
