Hi! this is the final answer! 😀

Human generation time
1. What is a human generation time?
Human generation time or generation time is a concept used to define the mean age of mothers
at birth. According to Caswell (2011), it is a biological descriptor utilized in many areas of study
such as archeology, history, and biology. For example, in archeology, this concept is used as an
important parameter to model the migration of human populations. In history, generation time can
be utilized to get rough estimates of the timing of events by converting generations into years; on
the other hand, in biology, this concept is particularly used in empirical studies as a quantitative
parameter. According to François (2015) generation time is useful in the study of molecular
evolution because several researchers and academics have aimed to relate generation time with
mutation phenomena. Generation time as well as a parameter of theoretical relevance. In his article
François (2015) mentioned that generation time is considered an appropriate candidate to measure
the timing processes related to the level of population.
This concept is correlated with the intuitive approach of the time it takes for a generation to be
replaced by the next. Generation time also can be defined as “the inverse of a turnover rate for
isolated populations the demographic equilibrium” (François, 2015). Generation time...
