Nature
level: feelings / instincts are the source of life

How old was the oldest person who ever lived?
Priority request: This is more of a for fun request, however, there are many swamis and gurus and so called enlightened masters throughout history who have claimed to be over 200 years old. I wonder how long these bodies can really last, at most?
deep dreamless sleep
Request: An ADAP range would be interesting here. There's no separate self present in deep sleep. Could it be likened to unconscious union with the Divine or is it just like unconsciousness?

age gaps in relationships

statement: we are all animals
Depends on context. Calibrated by request.
Neanderthal man
Priority request. "The size of the Neanderthal brain shows that Neanderthals were probably intelligent. On average, they had larger brains than modern humans" -- wikipedia.
