Poll: What duration should the informal narrative unit “epoch” assumed to be when talking about human history?

Epochs are event or feature delimited by definition, so a uniform duration should not be assumed. However, the Era is the subunit of the Epoch & the Eon is the superunit, so, however you define an Epoch, Epoch & Eon give upper & lower bounds respectively.
