How many possible generations can live in one century?

Girls can have children as young as 13 or 14.

100 years / 13 = about 7 generations.

However, the term "generation" has multiple meanings. 13 year olds don't generally change the way the world thinks, so the concept of society changing due to the passing of generations becomes much more muddied.

For this reason, sociologists generally say that a generation is about 25 years.

100 years / 25 years = 4 generations.

If a generation is about 20 years then 5.

6

A generation is 20 years. So that would be 5. However, some folks have children as teenagers every generation, so you probably could squeeze in 6.

My grandfather was born in 1900. Had my son also had a child before the millenium, that would have been 5 generations. He married the oldest (age 30), while I had my son at 16.

Let's estimate that 99% of women may be impregnated at 12 years. Two generations exist at 12 years 9 months. Three after another 12 years 9 months. A new generation begins after every 153 months. 1200 months/153= 7.8.

Suppose they are pregnant at 10 years and all babies are 2 months premature but do survive healthily. 1200/127 months= 9.44 generations. These are extreme calculations and sure, 6 generations is a more likely scenario.

Four, and depending on the age of the woman when they have their child, up to 6.

"Generation" has different meanings. A generation is 20 years. So that would be 5 in that context.

Well, if every woman in a family had a child at 16 then there could conceivably be 6. I'm sure it's happened somewhere.

If there was a family where every woman had a child at 14 then there COULD be 7 generations.

A couple of years, there was a family with seven generations.

The older three were living near Stone Mountain in Georgia.

The other four were in Tennesse,including the new born 7th

Generation member!

So seven!

If the families matriarch's are impregnated at the age of menstruation percsdisco, then it is quite possible to have eight generations in one century.

Unless one of the matriarchs or women skip a generation of about thirteen years? then it wouldn't be possible.

But eight is about the most generations to a century.

By normal standards you could have five generations.

there have been cases of women having children at age 14. if every woman in the "tree" gave birth at this age it is possible for 7 generations to be born within 100 years. can you spell dysfunction?
