What is the maximal age a Homo sapiens reaches?
An adult Homo sapiens (Homo sapiens) usually gets as old as 122.5 years.
Homo sapienss are around 274 days in the womb of their mother. When born, they weight 3.19 kg (7.02 lbs) and measure 1.3 cm (0′ 1″). As a member of the Hominidae family (genus: Homo), their offspring is 1 babies per pregnancy. Fully grown, they reach a bodylength of 2.04 meter (6′ 9″).
As a reference: Usually, humans get as old as 100 years, with the average being around 75 years. After being carried in the belly of their mother for 280 days (40 weeks), they grow to an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″) and weight in at 62 kg (137 lbs), which is obviously highly individual.
Homo sapiens is the only extant human species. The name is Latin for wise man, and was introduced in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus (who is himself the lectotype for the species).Extinct species of the genus Homo include Homo erectus (extant from roughly 2 to 0.1 million years ago) and a number of other species (by some authors considered subspecies of either H. sapiens or H. erectus). The divergence of the lineage leading to H. sapiens out of ancestral H. erectus (or an intermediate species such as Homo antecessor) is estimated to have occurred in Africa roughly 500,000 years ago. The earliest fossil evidence of early Homo sapiens appears in Africa around 300,000 years ago, with the earliest genetic splits among modern people, according to some evidence, dating to around the same time. Sustained archaic admixture is known to have taken place both in Africa and (following the recent Out-Of-Africa expansion) in Eurasia, between about 100,000 and 30,000 years ago.The term anatomically modern humans (AMH) is used to distinguish H. sapiens having an anatomy consistent with the range of phenotypes seen in contemporary humans from varieties of extinct archaic humans. This is useful especially for times and regions where anatomically modern and archaic humans co-existed, for example, in Paleolithic Europe. As of 2017, the oldest known skeleton of an anatomically modern Homo sapiens is the Omo-Kibish I, which dates to about 196,000 years ago.
Animals of the same family as a Homo sapiens
Not really brothers and sisters, but from the same biological family (Hominidae):
- Western gorilla becoming 54 years old
- Eastern gorilla growing to a mass of 149.33 kgs (329.22 lbs)
- Bonobo becoming 48 years old
- Bornean orangutan becoming 60 years old
- Sumatran orangutan growing to a mass of 39.7 kgs (87.52 lbs)
- Chimpanzee becoming 60 years old
Animals that reach the same age as Homo sapiens
With an average age of 122.5 years, Homo sapiens are in good companionship of the following animals:
- Blue whale usually reaching 110 years
- Killer whale usually reaching 100 years
- Fin whale usually reaching 116 years
Animals with the same number of babies Homo sapiens
The same number of babies at once (1) are born by:
- Red deer
- Ground pangolin
- Western long-tongued bat
- Rüppell’s broad-nosed bat
- Ocelot
- Leadbeater’s possum
- Pampas deer
- Baikal seal
- Southern forest bat
- Northern giraffe

- South Andean deer weighting 69.02 kilos (152.16 lbs) on average
- Nubian ibex weighting 47.68 kilos (105.12 lbs) on average
- Southern reedbuck weighting 57.94 kilos (127.74 lbs) on average
- Aardvark weighting 56.85 kilos (125.33 lbs) on average
- Sun bear weighting 57.04 kilos (125.75 lbs) on average
- Grant’s gazelle weighting 55 kilos (121.25 lbs) on average
- Taruca weighting 68.6 kilos (151.24 lbs) on average
- Pronghorn weighting 47.18 kilos (104.01 lbs) on average
- Goat weighting 47.14 kilos (103.93 lbs) on average
