The oldest human in the universe is Jeanne Calment, a French woman who lived to the age of 122 years and 164 days. She died in 1997 and holds the record for the longest confirmed human lifespan.
While Jeanne Calment is the oldest human recorded in history, it's impossible to say for certain who the absolute oldest human in the universe has been. We have no way of knowing how long people lived in the past, especially before the invention of written records.
Here are some factors that make it difficult to determine the oldest human ever:
- Limited Historical Records: Records of lifespans are incomplete and often unreliable, especially for ancient civilizations.
- Varying Lifespans: Human lifespans have varied throughout history due to factors like disease, nutrition, and environmental conditions.
- The Universe's Vastness: We have only explored a tiny fraction of the universe, meaning there could be other civilizations with individuals who lived longer than Jeanne Calment.
Therefore, while Jeanne Calment is the oldest human we know of, it's likely there have been others who lived longer lives, but their existence remains unknown.
