TWO AGING MODELS. “The classical evolutionary theory of aging has therefore two fundamental cornerstones: MA and AP. However, it is worth noting that both models are conceptually very similar: under MA, aging evolves through the accumulation of effectively neutral mutations with deleterious late-life effects, whereas, under AP, aging occurs due to mutations with beneficial early- and deleterious late-life effects. In reality, probably both types of mutations occur in populations, yet their relative frequencies remain unknown.”
