On the maximal life span of humans.
"Mortality data from the Netherlands are analyzed using recently developed statistical methods in the field of extreme value theory.  It is shown that there is a finite age limit. A 95% confidence interval for the age limit is 113-124 years.  The results suggest differences between men and women.  The suggested hypotheses could be tested on a larger data set." (SUMMARY IN FRE)
