"The results revealed the the more sociable, active, playful and curious the gorilla, the longer it was likely to live. The results are consistent with studies finding that human extroverts outlive introverts, too, study researcher Alex Weiss of the University of Edinburgh said in a statement."
Is it just extraversion, or is it having meaningful relationships, being active, having a goal & purpose, and being curious in life that promotes longevity? And with my new-found understanding from Bruce Lipton's work, our perceptions select which genes turn on and off and even change our genes based off our perceptions of the environment. These things listed all give us much satisfaction in life and as a result, translate to our biology.
