Well, Mabreka Cho was born in 2485 and is still capable of leading the Zorai, so it would appear that active ages of up to a century or more may be possible or even probable if the homin manages to avoid excessive wear on his Seed due to exposure to Goo or too many resurrections from violent injuries. In the case of Mabreka Cho, of course, there may be extra strength loaned to him by the Kamis.
We do know that some homins' Seeds are more fragile than those of other homins. That some of us have lasted to a significant age is simply a selection factor -- we all know of homins who have fallen by the wayside.
(Bittty was born sometime around 2530 and came to Silan in 2546 so he is somewhere around 45 JY old. His father was born some 20 JY prior, but has not been seen since the Second Swarming, but he had retired to Dyron many years before that. Bittty is beginning to feel the years, but can still beat down kitins. It takes him longer to catch his breath, though. He is also risk-averse, as any adult with experience tends to be.)
I'm still in favor of the "Budapest" solution, but wouldn't mind an "official" history merger for homins who have just arrived in the New Lands.
