Therefore, I have removed this tree from OldList until such time as it is able to be confirmed." http://www.rmtrr.org/oldlist.htm -->

Longevity may refer to especially long-lived members of a population, whereas life expectancy is defined statistically as the average number of years remaining at a given age. For example, a population's life expectancy at birth is the same as the average age at death for all people born in the same year (in the case of cohorts).
