On a more uplifting note, if you go by total number of heartbeats, humans live longer than any other creature, by a wide margin. No other creature lasts more than a billion heartbeats before even the most delayed approach of death wheras a human at the billionth heartbeat has only entered the prime of life. Humans regularly live to experience well over three billion heartbeats. This encouraging fact brought to you by the esteemed writer of science fiction (and virtually everything else) Isaac Asimov, who himself lasted the whole three billion. Way to go, Ike!
