How come we are still unsure about the cause of aging?

2.12K views

Do we not understand enough about the human body? I have heard that we don’t fully understand the mechanism behind aging and this got me wondering. I mean our body seems to be like one of the first things we’d investigate, and yet we seem to know less than I had originally thought.

It’s not “the cause of aging” or “the mechanism behind aging”.

There are many many causes.

It’s a bit like asking why does your toy or car or any other thing eventually wear out. There’s not one thing that wears out, every bit of it wears out in it’s own way. And we need to understand all of them and find ways to prevent and/or repair them all.
