Abstract
We have generated a large dataset consisting of 573 time points from various behavioral, anatomical, and transcriptional changes across human and eight non-human primate species. This dataset includes diverse human populations to capture within-species variations. We aligned ages across humans and great apes across their lifespan. Our findings indicate that human lifespan is unusually extended lifespan compared to other primates, suggesting a unique phase of life without a clear counterpart in great apes.
Methods
The dataset includes scripts used to translate ages across humans and great apes. These include the age alignments as well as models used to generate corresponding time points from structural and transcriptional variation.
Usage notes
The scripts rely on the programming language R.
