The emergence of longevous populations
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Public interest in social and economic equality is burgeoning. We examine a related phenomenon, lifespan equality, using data from charismatic primate populations and diverse human populations. Our study reveals three key findings. First, lifespan equality rises in lockstep with life expectancy, across primate species separated by millions of years of evolution and over hundreds of years of human social progress. Second, industrial humans differ more from nonindustrial humans in these measures than nonindustrial humans do from other primates. Third, in spite of the astonishing progress humans have made in lengthening the lifespan, a male disadvantage in lifespan measures has remained substantial—a result that will resonate with enduring public interest in male–female differences in many facets of life.

Demographic indicators such as life expectancy and lifespan equality provide a more precise framework for evaluating environmental quality.
“Yet, demographic indicators such as life expectancy and lifespan equality provide a more precise framework for evaluating environmental quality (Colchero et al., 2016, 2021; Aburto et al., 2020).”

“This male–female difference raises questions about the nature and extent of sex differences in how individuals survive hardship and illness and respond to socially mediated resources, opportunities, and risks, questions that remain largely unanswered (6, 7, 41, 42).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
