Abstract

This study presents an interdisciplinary analysis of the biblical phenomenon of exceptional antediluvian patriarch longevity, subsequent rapid lifespan decline, and the unique case of Job's life extension. Integrating biogerontology, population genetics, and statistical analysis, we demonstrate systematic consistency between biblical chronologies and modern biological principles. Results show synchronized decline in total lifespan, age at sexual maturity, and reproductive period, consistent with a transition from slow to fast life-history strategies in response to postdiluvian environmental changes.
