Summary Introduction
To review:
The process by which researchers increased the life span of fruit flies.
Introduction:
Over many generations, the fruit flies had evolved to age and die after a few weeks, since they were constantly being propagated every two weeks. One researcher tried to extend this time, and observed the effect.
