It doesn't matter so much how long people lived. Geneologically speaking. The important measurement is the childbearing period for women. If they could have babies every year or so for hundreds of years, the population would be explosive. Otherwise, there would just be a lot of really old people hanging around.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
