Answer (1 of 12): The maximum lifespan of a human is about 120 years. This is because human cells in culture have a finite lifespan that cannot change. What humans have been able to do is to increase the average lifespan by inventing medical technology to decrease the infant mortality rate and to...

A scientist from Stanford University bets that a person who will live 200 years has already been born. In ancient Greece and Rome, people lived an average of 20-35 years, and there was an extremely high infant mortality rate. Life expectancy in Europe in 1500-1800, according to historians, ...

July 31, 2023 - He has scrutinized the genomes of very long-lived animals such as the bowhead whale (which can reach 200 years) and the naked mole rat. His surprising conclusion: if we eliminated aging at the cellular level, humans could live for a millennium—and potentially as long as 20,000 years. How can ...

May 25, 2021 - And even if we make it through life with few stressors, this incremental decline sets the maximum life span for humans at somewhere between 120 and 150 years.

Here are 15 of them. ... A compound known as alpha-ketoglutarate extends life span in female mice and health span in mice of both sexes. A trial is testing its effects on markers of aging in humans. ... Further decoding and analyzing the genomes of those who live to be 110 or older ...

Answer (1 of 8): The idea of humans living to be over 200 years old may seem like something out of a science fiction novel , but recent advancements in technology and medicine have sparked the question of whether it is possible for humans to extend their lifespan to such an extent .

All human beings age. It is part of our biology and limits our lifespan to slightly over 120 years. Not all animals experience ageing during their lives. Some animals’ bodies do not gradually degenerate as they get older the way our bodies do.

May 8, 2018 - For most of recorded human history average life expectancy has been between 20 and 40 years. In Britain it was only in the mid-1800s that this figure consistently rose above 40 years. Today in the UK average life expectancy is about 80 years. The main reason for this extraordinary advance is ...

May 28, 2021 - Nature, that analyzed trends in life expectancy data to estimate that it would be unlikely for humans to exceed 125 years old. Other researchers have argued that there is no ultimate limit on human life span.

Answer (1 of 14): Like before what exactly? No human has ever lived for 200 years. If you are talking about the fiction in the bible then it is exactly that, fiction.

Answer (1 of 6): Thanks Milly, for A2A. The way things are going, we are caught in between two forces. One wants population to be slashed ruthlessly. That means lots of deaths with longevity remaining only an illusion and almost improbable in most of cases (areas, people, races, norms etc.). The...

People have been searching for a cure for aging for thousands of years. In today’s medically advanced world, are we any closer to finding it?

Answer (1 of 16): I would say beyond doubt 200+ will be achievable, whilst can't yet fix the damage which arises as we age but we are getting close and the path ahead is already quite clear. This is because we already pretty much know what we need to do, additionally we have rapidly growing knowl...
