Notes
Life span, or life expectancy, is measured either as the maximum age achieved by a member or as an average among the population. The former reveals the genetic potential, whereas the latter reflects the habitability of the environment and is thus considered meaningful. Human beings are the longest-living mammals and among the longest-living of all animals. In 1978, the highest authenticated age was 113.
