An estimate on the "total number of people who have ever lived" as of 1995 was calculated by Haub (1995) at "about 105 billion births since the dawn of the human race" with a cut-off date at 50,000 BC (beginning of the Upper Paleolithic), and inclusion of a high infant mortality rate throughout pre-modern history.

From the beginning of the current century there is a tendency to also estimate healthy life expectancy (HALE), the average number of years that a person can expect to live in "full health". [2] [3] Comparing life expectancies across countries can be problematic.
Speciation may have begun shortly after 10 Ma, but late admixture between the lineages may have taken place until after 5 Ma. Candidates of Hominina or Homininae species which lived in this time period include Graecopithecus (c. 7 Ma), Sahelanthropus tchadensis (c. 7 Ma), Orrorin tugenensis (c. 6 Ma).
Longevity refers to the relatively long lifespan of some members of a population. Maximum lifespan is the age at death for the longest-lived individual of a species. Mathematically, life expectancy is denoted [a] and is the mean number of years of life remaining at a given age , with a particular mortality. [9]
The study found that an average global citizen lives 9.6 fewer healthy years than they live altogether — so, for example, someone who lived to 80 might have spent the last decade of their life ...
Living Testaments. The oldest known person in the world died at 118, far exceeding the United Nation's world life expectancy of 72.98 years. But living past 100 isn't the rarity it once was.
In animal studies, maximum span is often taken to be the mean life span of the most long-lived 10% of a given cohort. By another definition, however, maximum life span corresponds to the age at which the oldest known member of a species or experimental group has died. Calculation of the maximum life span in the latter sense depends upon the ...
