By the time that the life occured. If you look at a grave stone it will say something like "1896-1972" which is the measurement of the time, 76 years, that the person was alive. Also, when scientists do radio-carbon dating, they measure the radioactive quality of the carbon which they call its half-life. So they measure its life by the time it takes for it to decay and based on how much it decayed, they can tell how old it is. This usually helps them answer the question of when something was alive many, many, years ago.
