Douglas E. Crews studies human and primate aging, frailty, and how life stress and social conditions affect the body over time, using a concept called 'allostatic load' (a measure of cumulative wear-and-tear from stress). His work spans living human populations, skeletal remains from historical and medieval cemeteries, and zoo-housed great apes and lemurs, comparing how aging, frailty, and health inequality show up across these groups.
