In 1635, the noted physician Sir William Harvey performed an autopsy on the body of Thomas Parr who was reported to have been 152 years old. Although there is little evidence to support Parr's age, historians agree that he had indeed reached an advanced age and was probably a centenarian.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3293237/
