Centenarians
may be rare, but supercentenarians are far rarer. Scientists say that this
kind of lifespan all boils down to genetics.
Folks,
meet the last five living people who were born in the 1800s.
Do you
know what this means? It means that they have lived for over a century and a
decade, seen countless wars, historical events and accumulated wisdom that
could hold the key to human survival. They are the oldest living people on
Earth.
Year
after year, they have watched the world change and adapt. They have a
perspective on the world that the rest of us cannot even imagine.
They are
definitely a unique and extraordinary generation. And each of them are women:
three Americans, one Italian, and one Japanese.
