In the sense of reproducing itself, a generation is about 30 to 40 years. In the sense of measuring time by the lives of men, a generation, since the Abrahamic day, has been about 100 years.

From this standpoint of measument, a generation from the time of Adam to the flood would have been nearly 1000 years. It may also be taken from the oldest person in that period.
