==Theories==
  −
Throughout history, many theories of aging have existed. Currently, modern empirical theories of aging are categorized into two groups: stochastic damage-based theories of aging and programmed theories of aging
  −
  −
These groups however, are not strict categories as programmed theories of aging may also incorporate elements of damage based theories.
  −
Especially relevant theories known to the public include the free radical theory of aging as well as aging determined by genetics. However, recently empirical evidence of a hormesis effect by free radicals as well as conflicting data weaken the free radical theory.

Additional questions include:
  −
  −
What genetic pathways might influence aging?
  −
How does the evolutionary theory of aging affect programmed theories of aging?
