This
is another confirmation, Phillip
We
had many centurion in Ceylon( lanka) once there was a study, and the results, I
did not see(over 50 yrs ago)
My
mother lived 96 yrs and we had 3 grand , great grand parents upto 102/104/106

Deeds,

50/150 yrs ago, the records were inaccurate or non existent.
Bilingual
literacy is still rare. And even in the more literate countries , , it's common
for people to know only one language as in Europe , USA, Canada
Russia,
china , Australia, and most of Africa and parts in Indian subcontinent.
With
increased awareness literacy, jaela th, medical care will continue to improve,
and we can easily reach 120 , but hopefully with fair health and not just
survive , and be almost unable to function, as we see in nursing and elders
homes.
Quality
of life is more important than longitude.
With
failing mind and body, the quality of life , measured by longevity, may not be
that desirable
