[QUOTE="FrumiousBandersnatch, post: 75952696, member: 241055"] There is no master plan to evolution. The earliest replicators would not yet have evolved repair mechanisms, so would probably soon be damaged by thermal motion and free radicals and so unable to replicate. The more successful offspring would tend to outcompete others, starving them of resources. Once molecular repair mechanisms evolved, there would be a limit in the balance between the resources needed for maintenance and being outcompeted (and eventually, consumed) by more efficient organisms. Repair mechanisms, generally, only delay the end. Having said that, some organisms have evolved what appears to be potential immortality by rejuvenation strategies, so programmed death is not necessarily inevitable. [/QUOTE]
