Medical - Genetics
English term or phrase: follow up
So why do these hormones decrease? Is there some protective reason? May be hormones decrease when you get older to protect you from cancer when you are elderly.
But if you think about the evolutionary biology of that, that couldn’t be because you have already reproduced or not reproduced. As far as evolution is concerned, it is game over. So, there can't be any evolutionary advantage when the hormones go south, when you are past reproduction. Evolution is blind to the events after reproductive age. So these hormones follow up because not many humans lived to be elderly and it didn’t matter. It was one of the things that -- there is no old animals in the jungle, but there are in the zoo and modern humans are zoo animals.
