Studies on the Nature of Man

The questions of old age and death have always occupied an important place in Mechnikov's research. In his work "Studies on the Nature of Man," the famous biologist eloquently and elegantly discusses the life and death of living beings, the structure of the human body and possible causes of aging, the merits, demerits, and "disharmonies" of the human organism, and the possibilities that are initially inherent in it and should help combat old age as if it were any other disease.
