This short examines the biological constraints and evolutionary drivers that define the human lifespan, noting a natural ceiling of approximately 120 years. The author explains that because nature prioritizes reproduction over long-term maintenance, the body eventually loses its ability to repair cellular damage. Key physiological factors like the Hayflick Limit and the shortening of telomeres illustrate why cells stop replicating, leading to systemic decline. Additionally, the passage highlights how genetic inheritance and environmental factors act as the primary safeguards for individuals who reach extreme old age. Ultimately, human longevity is presented as a complex balance between evolutionary neglect and specific protective gene variants.
