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.

The thing is, aging doesn’t have a single “cause”, aging is the accumulation of damage to the body over a lifetime. Some of that damage is genetic, some of it is wear and tear, some of it is because evolution doesn’t need us to live longer than it takes to raise the next generation of humans.
Like cancer, curing aging is immensely complicated and difficult.
