The hypothesis that aging is a genetic program that is to some degree selected has always been a vocal minority view in the research community. There are just as many quite diverse theories of programmed aging as there are more mainstream evolutionary theories of aging that orbit the concept of antagonistic pleiotropy, the idea that lesser selection pressure in late life, because early reproduction means greater evolutionary fitness, allows for the evolution of mechanisms that are beneficial in youth and harmful in late life.
