Summary/Abstract: Frequently, in everyday life, there are discussions regarding: 1) the (average) age of the first people on earth; 2) the evolution of the duration (average) of human life, from Adam and Eve until now; 3) what is the (average) age of man provided in the Bible, and/or by God; 4) „the Methuselah life”.In frequent cases, discussions on such topics are conducted without knowing the real meaning and content of these expressions, where each one comes from, if they have coverage in reality, etc.The purpose of this material is to give an explanation to these problems, based on documents, specifying that for some of the data and information they contain there are certain reservations in terms of their accuracy, which is understandable if we consider the fact that some of them describe people and events right from the beginning of mankind on earth, i.e. over 4,000 years ago.This material presents the descendants of mankind from Adam to Abraham, according to 1) accounts from the Bible, and 2) archaeological discoveries.
