Excerpt from Human Longevity: Its Facts and Its Fictions, Including an Inquiry Into Some of the More Remarkable Instances, and Suggestions for Testing Reputed Cases, Illustrated by Examples
If Old Parr really attained the age of I 52, and Henry Jenkins that of 169, the great German physiologist, Haller might have been justified in arguing, as he has done, from such data, the possibility of man's life being extended to two hundred years.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking text examines the age-old question of human longevity and questions why we are so ready to believe people can live far beyond scientifically established norms. The author delves into a vast number of supposed cases of individuals reaching 100 years old, many of which have been used as the basis for erroneous theories and claims about the extreme limits of human existence. By carefully scrutinizing documentation of many such cases, the author argues most were not actually centenarians but rather victims of false reports, mistaken identities, or simple misinterpretation. In doing so, this book exposes a prevalent credulity regarding human longevity that has led to numerous errors in scientific inquiry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781331639589_0
