Abstract

Findings from the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Hinxton, UK, indicate that across 16 mammalian species, somatic mutation rates per year appear to strongly influence life span. Another study of 191 mammalian species, led by the University of Montpellier in France, shows that cancer mortality risk is associated with diet but independent of body mass and life span, confirming the validity of Peto's paradox.
