how come adults don’t look as ‘mature’ as they used to? I’m told it’s ‘neoteny’ but that answers nothing.

Question

As a millennial, I recognize that us 90’s kids just look like very tall teenagers, where as people our age back 30 to 40 years ago actually LOOKED like they were in their 20’s. Why is this?

Answer 1

I’ve thought about this too and honestly I think people eating healthier has alot to do with this. Like we don’t have the preservatives in our food from the 70sto90s. Cans of food used to not expire forever. Now maybe 2 years. All those chemicals gone.
