Who is the last laugh
Where are we going? When I saw "The New York Times" published in two monkeys - 27-year-old and 29-year-old Owen Kentuo photos, the problem suddenly appeared in front of me.
These two monkeys are the University of Wisconsin conducted a protracted experiment part of it. Monkeys Kentuo strictly controlled diet, calorie intake 30% lower than conventional diets, while Michael Owen will eat monkeys ate whatever, let yourself go.
Experiment from the beginning to the present 20 years, and "Science" magazine published the preliminary results of the experiment, the leading experimental scientists wrote: "caloric restriction slows aging primate species." Experiments showed that: diet group of monkeys Only 13% died of old age, and a hearty group of monkeys had died by 37%.

This conclusion is controversial in the scientific community have, I will not enumerate here - the boring boring would give rise to short-lived, it is not in doubt. However, put down the potato chips in people before, there is another issue to be thinking: These average natural life expectancy of 27 years old (up to no more than 40 years of age) of the primate's own sense of it, this feeling will affect the survival of their wishes come true?

Monkey's feelings are a part of my childhood memories. My father was a doctor, a lifetime to deal with monkeys. He was the University of Johannesburg, South Africa Wittwer Sitelande papers, writing is about baboons of the menstrual cycle. His father emigrated to Britain in the 1950s when the average life expectancy also some of his 30-year-old baboons shipped back, and finally again better donated to London Zoo baboons.
