              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 genetic⁴ 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 authenticated⁵ age
was 113.
