Introduction of Land Art.DPeople have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer even though they have lifespans（寿命） that are similar to humans, livingfor around 50 to 70 years.Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, Us ha

26、s found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors （肿瘤） developing. T o be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.According to the research, the extra copies of the gene improved the a

If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous （癌变的） , large creatures with a long lifespan like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice.
