Thanks, Neil. This study is a possible reminder; of health and biological priorities?
According to Maslow's hierarchy of 5 needs that humans and animals seek to fulfil
A. Basic
1. Physiological needs - food, water, warmth, rest
2. Safety needs - security and safety
B. Psychological
3. Belongingness and love needs - intimate relationship and friends
4. Esteem needs - prestige, feeling of accomplishment
C. Self fulfillment
5. Self actualization
D. Species and tribe actualization and support
(6. Dunbar, Hewlett and Gambol suggest that there is a sixth - the needs of a social mind - to love, support and give to a group.)
