The life of A Mammal

MAN can live seventy or eighty years, but few other mammals can live that long. If we base a mammal's life on the number of heartbeats rather than years of existence, it's easy to calculate whether humans really live longer than some of those who live with their mammals on earth. On average, a mouse lives about 3.3 years, but its heart rate is around 550 beats per minute. There are approximately 526,000 minutes per year. So if we multiply the number of minutes per year by the number of beats per minute and then multiply it by the life expectancy, we get about 950,000,000 beats for the average mouse.

The same type of calculation can be done for other mammals such as dogs, horses, cows, and elephants. For example, an elephant with a heart rate of 20 per minute has a total of about 736.3 million beats in a 70-year life, much less than a mouse. It appears that mammals generally receive about 1,000,000,000 heartbeats or less in their lifetime. However, if you do the same calculation for humans, assuming 72 beats per minute and a lifespan of 70 years, the number of beats given to humans is about 2,600,000,000, more than double that of many other mammals. .

Isaac Asimov concludes in his book The Human Body: “Since trees have no heart and turtles (and cold-blooded creatures in general) beat very slowly, it is safe to say that the human heart surpasses all. other. It surely surpasses other mammalian hearts in a ratio of 2 1⁄2 or even 3 1 to 2 to 1 ... The human body is therefore, in all humility and from a completely objective point of view, the most wonderful that we know. “This is because the human body was designed by its Creator to live very much longer.
