Yes, check out Michael Rose's book, "Evolutionary Biology of Ageing" (Oxford
Univ. Press, 1990). After reading Stearns and Williams, you probably will be
well-prepared to read this book. To paraphrase from reviews in Nature and
Science, Rose surveys and synthesizes the literature on ageing in the light
evolutionary theory.
