While the
health
of aging
men
has been a focus of biomedical research for years, evolutionary biology has not been part of the conversation until now. How
Men
Age is the first book to explore how natural selection has shaped male aging, how evolutionary theory can inform our understanding of male
health
and well-being, and how older
men
may have contributed to the evolution of some of the very traits that make us human.In this informative and entertaining book, renowned biological anthropologist Richard Bribiescas looks at all aspects of male aging through an evolutionary lens. He describes how the challenges males faced in their evolutionary past influenced how they age today, and shows how this unique evolutionary history helps explain common aspects of male aging such as prostate disease, loss of muscle mass, changes in testosterone levels, increases in fat, erectile dysfunction, baldness, and shorter life spans than women. Bribiescas reveals how many of the physical and behavioral changes that we negatively associate with male aging may have actually facilitated the emergence of positive traits that have helped make humans so successful as a species, including parenting, long life spans, and high fertility.Popular science at its most compelling, How
Men
Age provides new perspectives on the aging process in
men
and how we became human, and also explores future challenges for human evolution and the important role older
men
might play in them
