&quot;Aging&quot; might have evolved in part because of cancer, but that does not mean that aging is the best solution to cancer. It&#x27;s just a method of dealing with it, which might be totally subpar. Evolution never leads to best-case scenario, it leads to good-enough scenario. Saying &quot;either you age or get cancer&quot; is just... not correct.<p>If we find a way to not age and not get cancer, then we have (presumably) evolved.
