Survival curve for populations in their natural habitat. Simply because older individuals have been exposed to environmental hazards for longer, the likelihood of getting old is limited. Young individuals outnumber old, and old individuals outnumber those even older. The force of natural selection thus progressively weakens with increasing age, and ageing remains in the evolutionary shadow.
