Parsi population in India (Chaubey et al. 2019, Fig. 1) Increased longevity is associated with 217 of the 420 genetic variants that are specific to the Parsi mitochondrial genome. Others are associated with reduced sperm motility, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and cognitive ability. Did Parsi culture select for a slower life history?
