Life Span

Life span refers to the maximum age that an individual of a species can theoretically live under ideal conditions. It represents the upper limit of life potential, distinguished from life expectancy, which is an average measure for a population.

In humans, the current recorded life span is approximately 120-125 years. Life span is influenced by biological factors, such as genetics and cellular aging processes, and is a focus of gerontology research aimed at understanding and potentially extending the human life limit.
