Abstract
Start a Bellman–Harris branching process from one or several ancestors, whose ages are identically distributed random variables. Assume that the life-length distribution decays more quickly than exponentially and that the distribution of ages at start does not give too much mass to high ages (in a sense to be made precise). Then, if the expected population size is an exponential function of time, the ages must follow the stable age distribution of the process.
