How can you be so sure? Humans as eternal beings in the Dark Souls-verse? Is there any further evidence of this theory? You know that the Dark Souls was one of the Fourth Lord Souls that is found within the Flames during Disparity that emits Light and Dark. Light means Life and Dark means Death.

The scholar Aldia (Aldir?) Mentions that "Man assumed a fleeting (temprary) form," implying that human lives being finite is an unnatural thing.

Remember also that the bearers of the otheer three souls, Gwyn, lord of Light, The witch of Izalith and her daughters, lords of Life, and Nito, lord of Death, are all eternal, only dying when slain by outside forces.

Humans, on the other hand, die with age, eventually becoming undead, and are then able to constantly return to life through the bonfires.

This is because their dark souls have been forcibly bound to the first flame, cursed to slowly burn away to keep Gwyn's age of fire lit.

Normally, though, they would probably have been more like the bearers of the other souls, eternal.
