Feeling stuck between a rock and a hard place is a daily sentiment right now like some people get sad as they get nothing done in seeking for eternal youth. I'm not one of those seekers who ought to hear what biologists have reported in "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences", examining an evolutionary explanation for cellular ageing and finding no way around getting old. Ironically, some people could find way around growing up. Considering natural selection's pressure is reduced after humans have procreated, operating on the genetic underpinnings of all that joint-creaking and skin-wrinkling seems not to be that possible. Even though this problem solved, the other would come out. Celluar competition would cause problems associated with ageing after natural selection perfectly being against such traits. A cell would eventually lose out to more individually competitive cells as it acts only to maximise its utility to the whole organism. In another way, it could be a canner if it maximised its own vigour, out-competing surrounding cells usful to the wider organism.
