Mystery of worlds oldest human

The mystery of the world's oldest human centers around trying to determine the exact identity and characteristics of the individual who holds the title of the "oldest human." This title typically refers to the oldest verified age reached by a human being. As of my last update in September 2021, the oldest verified person on record was Jeanne Calment, a French woman who lived to be 122 years and 164 days old, passing away in 1997.

The mystery involves questions about the factors that contributed to their remarkable longevity, such as genetics, lifestyle, and access to healthcare. Researchers continue to study exceptionally old individuals to gain insights into the aging process and longevity. Additionally, there have been occasional claims of even older individuals, but verifying these claims is often challenging due to a lack of reliable documentation.

It's important to note that new records may have emerged since my last update, so I recommend checking the latest information to see if there have been any developments in the search for the world's oldest human.
