«Los nietos de Adán y Eva» is the popular science essay by Carles Zafon, published by Marge Books in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
The book explores human aging from a scientific perspective and reviews the main theories about its causes, such as oxidative stress, replicative senescence and the telomeric theory. It also analyzes the phenomenon from evolutionary biology and presents the «economic grandfather» hypothesis, proposed by Zafon himself as key to understanding longevity. The work pays attention to scientifically studied anti-aging therapies and speculates about a future «post-aging».
The essay, published in December 2010, belongs to the Crítica y ensayo collection. It includes a table of contents with chapters such as «El abuelo económico», «El legador del cazador», «El superviviente perfecto» and «La fuente de Bimini».
Suitable for readers interested in the biology of aging, gerontology and popular science on health and longevity, as well as for university studies in health sciences.
