The Awarded Son Theory

The video presents the Prize Son Theory, a neo-Darwinist proposal that seeks to explain the evolutionary causes of aging and sexual reproduction. The author examines several established biological theories, pointing out that many fail to justify how senescence could be selected if it harms the individual organism. According to the new theory, programmed death is advantageous for genes, as it frees up resources for descendants who can inherit multiple beneficial mutations simultaneously. This mechanism would accelerate the evolutionary rate of the species, allowing mortal organisms to surpass immortal competitors in adaptability. Thus, aging is no longer seen only as a physical damage and begins to be understood as a strategic genetic adaptation.
