Well, when during the Afterbuzz they asked Shannon about people's lifespans in Remnant, she basically mentioned a ton of possibilities about what kind of world Remnant could really be to then say we would find out later.

Now, that could go both ways: maybe people in Remnant live lifespans like ours or they do live much longer and Ozpin is really from the generation before the colour naming fashion began. Also, maybe that theory that Remnant is actually Earth after some great catastrophe it's not so far-fetched.
