Whenever my dad used to hear things about the "World Oldest Human" or some other human feat, he wasn't very impressed. Instead, he would tell me of someone he knew, or knew of back in India who was far older, or had accomplished far more. They simply hadn't been picked up by the newspapers or North American television shows.
I don't know about this case in particular, but I do believe that there is a lot out there that we don't know, simply because we haven't seen it.
