Super Super Centenarian High I.Q. Geniuses
Above Age 120 and the 99th Percentile (Public Data)

While cognizant of the longevity claims of ‘wild’ claimants, additional factual statistics bear consideration:

• 2000:  50,000 Age 100 and Over in United States, 40,000 Women and 10,000 Men
• 2000:    5,000 Age 105 and Over in United States,   4,000 Women and 1000 Men
• 2005:  55,000 Age 100 and Over in United States, 25,000 Age 100 and Over in Japan
• 2005:  8 Documented World War I Veterans Age 100 and Over in the United States
• 2005:     450,000 Worldwide Age 100 and Over, 30 People Worldwide Age 110 and Over
• 2005:    2 People Worldwide Age 120 and Over So there’s no ‘silver bullet’ to long life.
• 2010:    Average life span in the Western hemisphere is expected to rise to 100 years old.
• 21st Century: Average lifespan predicted to rise significantly to an age range of 150-200,
  primarily due to improved health care and medical cloning replacement of all body parts.

Factors: war; terrorism; pestilence; disease; natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and monsoons; poor health care; crime; AIDS; other sexual transmitted diseases; superviruses; alcohol / drug use affect age longevity odds.

Bible: While Moses is generally accepted to have lived to 120, the bible also states in Genesis Abraham lived to 175, Isaac lived to 180, and Jacob lived to 147. This should be seen in historical context. It’s possible the gospel of the prophets is true, for the calendar utilized when ancient testaments and scrolls were written likely was shorter and different.

Statistical data (seen in its context) makes the odds of extreme longevity far more rare.
Those that beat the theoretical one in a million odds are both very smart and very lucky.
