Right now, according the Economist:
That chart's a little hard to read. But it says that almost 30 percent of all human years lived since the birth of Jesus Christ were lived in the 1900s. And almost 5 percent of them have been lived in this century, already more than were lived in the 17th century.

The lifespans of any particular era would be impossible to determine, the chart if I read it correctly, and supported by the text, graphs "total years lived" by humankind. All the blue totaled is all the years lived by all the people ever born. The right hand scale is percentage and all the sub catagories should add up to 100.
