Hi all,
-- I was just wondering the following - why nobody does this experiment:
I don't remember exactly how long mice live, but let's assume 1 year.
Basically you have two cages.
#female mice
#male mice
You wait 350 days, female and male seperated. Then you put them together in a cage.
That was the experiment. If you are doing this large scale, (maybe radiation-assisted) you would select for beneficial mutations.
Let's assume after x generation average lifespan will be 400 days. Then the "rendez-vous" will take place on day 380.

Wouldn't that be worth a shot?
