Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Human Longevity: Its Facts and Its Fictions, Including an Inquiry Into Some of the More Remarkable Instances, and Suggestions for Testing Reputed Cases, Illustrated by Examples The duration of human life has hitherto been treated almost exclusively by Naturalists and Physiologists - men eminently qualified by their professional attainments to do full justice to the subject, so far as relates to the scientific conclusions to be deduced from the facts before them. They have, however, taken as facts what are really, in the majority of cases, mere assertions, and, by arguing from false premises, have arrived at very erroneous and unjustifiable conclusions. If Old Parr really attained the age of 152, and Henry Jenkins that of 169, the great German physiologist Haller might have been justified in arguing, as he has done, from such data, the possibility of man´s life being extended to two hundred years. But, if it be shown that there is not a tittle of evidence to prove that Parr and Jenkins did attain the extraordinary ages with which they have been credited, the theory based upon their supposed abnormal Longevity necessarily falls to the ground.
