Jonathan, a 194-year-old Aldabra giant tortoise, was born before the Civil War. Scientists have now sequenced his genome to reveal what’s behind his extreme longevity, so we can live longer too.

    i hope we get to see dna shit like this and that we get to expand our life to reach like 200 or 300 years. it’d definitely be more interesting to live if you could have more years to spare.

      Capitalism doesn’t work like that.
      Live to 200 and you’ll work until you’re 185.
