how old did the oldest human live to
Oldest people According to this criterion, the longest human lifespan is that of Jeanne Calment of France (1875â€“1997), who lived to the age of 122 years, 164 days. She met Vincent van Gogh when she was 12 or 13.[1] She received news media attention in 1985, after turning 110. Subsequent investigation found documentation for Calment's age, beyond any reasonable question, in the records of her native city, Arles, France.[2] More evidence of Calment's lifespan has been produced than for any other supercentenarian; her case serves as an archetype in the methodology for verifying the ages of the world's oldest people.[3]
Emma Morano Emma Martina Luigia Morano (OMRI[3]) (29 November 1899 â€“ 15 April 2017) was an Italian supercentenarian who, before her death at the age of 117 years and 137 days, was the world's oldest living person whose age had been verified, and the last living person to have been verified as being born in the 1800s.[a][4] She remains the oldest Italian person ever[5] and the second-oldest European person ever behind Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment.[6]
