The question is what is the longest period of time on Earth without a single human dying. That is about 4.54 billion years. Those are the years scientists have discovered that the Earth was around before humans evolved. The exact number of years that humans have been around does not matter because it is so small in geological time that it does not affect the total.

It has been over a hundred years since there was any rational doubt whatsoever about the extreme length of geological periods or the fact of human evolution and its general time frame.

From years to a lifetime, depending on the perception of the individual, because some do truly believe that humans don't die, instead they transcend into an "afterlife" or heaven or nirvana or other state of being beyond our physical world. 

In more practical terms, if we're talking h**o sapiens sapiens, probably what, around 4.49 billion years?  ;-}

Speaking logically and from an evolutionary standpoint if you include all of Earths history.

From the birth of the planet until the first human walked the Earth would be the longest time.

The second longest would be the lifetime of the first human. However this lifetime would be unquantifiable by any means we have at our disposal today...especially since no one can say for certain who the first human truly was.

The answer to this question most likely is based on when there were extremely few people on earth. Regardless of whether you believe in creationism or darwinian science there was a time when there existed only a few humans.

The longest period of time that passed between deaths depends on how long you think the average lifespan was. The biblical Adam and Eve were said to have lived for over 900 years so that would be my first answer. If you believe that early humans had a lifespan of only 35-40 years than that would be my answer.
