Coevolution of cooperative lifestyles and reduced cancer prevalence in mammals While cooperative mammals evolve reducing cancer prevalence, oncogenes can be maintained by selection in competitive species.

Nature hates capitalism? Higher cancer rates amongst less cooperative species.

Cooperative mammals show lower cancer rates than solitary, competitive species Cancer is a common disease among mammals, but some species, such as the naked mole rat and elephants, have evolved resistance.

Mammals that live in cooperative social groups tend to have lower cancer rates than solitary, competitive species, suggesting social behavior may influence cancer risk across species. doi.org/qdpb

Brutal: "Therefore, cancer can be considered as a selected mechanism of biological obsolescence in competitive species."

Syövästä saattaa olla evoluutiossa jopa hyötyä: tekee tilaa uusille sukupolville. Jos oppisimme elämään ikuisesti, evoluutio tyssäisi aikalailla siihen. Kulttuurievoluutio ei toki välttämättä. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

So, basically, kindness lowers cancer rates in a species and cruelty increases them.... wow....

My non-scientific hypothesis;

The more you care about others the better you are for the species and the longer you live.

Fascinating! It suggests that social cooperation might offer protection against cancer, perhaps by reducing stress and promoting healthier environments. The link between behavior and biology is more powerful than we think.

This opens up possibilities for genetic biomimicry approaches that would copy anti-cancer adaptations from species in which cancer is evolutionarily disadvantageous. Such strategies would raise important ethical concerns.

Cancer may be a feature, not a bug, in the ecosystem’s survival code

So we are screwed. 😂 Capitalism has long been associated with cancer.

Why do whales and elephants have much lower rates of cancer than expected?
