Abstract: The development of ‘epigenetic clocks’ is changing how biomedical scientists approach age-associated disease and leads to new insights and questions of wider significance. We highlight recent findings concerning epigenetic aging and discuss their relevance to life history evolution and their potential for advancing the field of ecological and evolutionary aging.
