Everything about Generation time
Average time from one generation to another within the same population
In population biology and demography, generation time is the average time between two consecutive generations in the lineages of a population, being linked to biological life cycles. In human populations, generation time typically has ranged from 20 to 30 years, with wide variation based on gender and society. Historians sometimes use this to date events, by converting generations into years to obtain rough estimates of time. Wikipedia →
