In this respect the evolution of longevity, although based on selection of individual genes, is more of an evolutionarily coordinated transfiguration of the whole genome to achieve the maximum lifespan in the given conditions as hypothesized by Hamilton [38].

Over the past few decades, numerous studies have established that calorie restriction (CR) is the only environmental intervention known to extend maximum lifespan in various species ranging from yeast, worms, flies, mice and even nonhuman primates [1] [5].

Recognizing this and the fact that one cannot be assured of observing population maximum lifespans in finite samples, Wang et al. [ 5] constructed and validated several tests (hereafter, the 'Wang-Allison tests') of differences in the upper parts of lifespan distributions by building on the work of Redden et al. [ 6] in the area of quantile regression.

Remarkably, although initially with adverse effects in males, flies expressing RNAi specific for AcCoAS exhibited mean and maximum lifespan extension in both sexes compared to isogenic control flies that expressed an unrelated RNAi specific for GFP not present in this organism.

The maximum lifespan reported in captivity was 27 years.
