Summary
This document is page 25 of a scientific paper discussing the psychology and evolutionary biology of loneliness and social isolation. It details the physical health risks associated with isolation (cardiovascular issues) and defines three dimensions of the self: personal, relational, and collective. The text argues that loneliness serves an adaptive evolutionary function similar to hunger or pain, signaling a need for social connection. It bears a House Oversight Bates stamp, indicating it was part of a congressional production, likely related to inquiries regarding Jeffrey Epstein's connections to the scientific community.
