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.
