Longevity myths
Longevity myths are traditions about long-lived people (generally supercentenarians), either as individuals or groups of people, and practices that have been believed to confer longevity, but for which scientific evidence does not support the ages claimed or the reasons for the claims.〔〔 While literal interpretations of such myths may appear to indicate extraordinarily long lifespans, many scholars〔Number Manipulation for Profit, or Just for Fun? by Paul Y. Hoskisson http://maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/publications/insights/?vol=30&num=6&id=924〕 believe such figures may be the result of incorrect translation of numbering systems through various languages coupled by the cultural and or symbolic significance of certain numbers.
The phrase "longevity tradition" may include "purifications, rituals, longevity practices, meditations, and alchemy" that have been believed to confer greater human longevity, especially in Chinese culture.
Modern science indicates various ways in which genetics, diet, and lifestyle affect human longevity. It also allows us to determine the age of human remains with a fair degree of precision.
