Heritability of intrinsic human life span is about 50%
Summary
The Science article reports that intrinsic human lifespan is about 50% heritable, indicating a substantial genetic component with environmental factors also playing a major role. This finding supports the potential of AI-driven genomics to identify lifespan-related variants and gene-environment interactions, with implications for aging research, personalized medicine, and biotech innovation, while emphasizing interpretation limitations across populations.
