Extended data;

The ultimate life span of human beings is about 120 years old; At present, the oldest person with sufficient evidence is a French woman, Yana Kamante, who lived 122 years old 164 days (1February 2, 8751-1August 4, 997).

Tens of thousands of years ago, human ancestors were still hunting for a living. At that time, the average life expectancy was only a teenager, and few people could live to be 20 years old. In the Song Dynasty, the average life expectancy of the ancients was around 30 years old, which was several times higher than that of modern people who were close to 80 years old.

Scientists have studied the division of human cells and speculated that the ultimate life span of human beings is about 120 years old, which is very consistent with the actual situation; Excluding all kinds of folklore, it is not credible to say that someone has lived for hundreds of years without conclusive evidence.
