A generation is the time it takes for one group of people to grow up and begin procreating---@ 20 years. A century equals about 5 generations. If your great great grandfather was born in 1900 then his son (your great grandfather) would be born about 1920. The great granfather would have had your grandfather about 1940. Your dad, then, would have been born about 1960 and his offspring, you, would have been born about 1980, so that you (the fifth generation would be old enough to have children by about 2000). (I say 5 generations, not 6, because a couple will have children over about a ten year period, and first children would be born possibly two or three years before or after a parent's twentieth birthdate.)

Like generation X'ers??? When Pop culture is distinctly different and cannot be ignored a generation is named and followed till they die.
Or it's about 22 years. The approximate time it normally takes the average human to propagate the next offspring, or re-generation of itself.
