- travisp 14y agoAre you suggesting telomeres or telomerase activity correlates with the size of the species? It's unclear what exactly is the role of telomeres in aging. Your article says "it is currently unknown to what extent telomere erosion contributes to the normal aging process". It is a major hypothesis, but there's a lot we don't know about it.
