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

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?

My 2 cents. I think people were alot leaner back then. Most jobs were more physical than today and they would’ve had to spend alot more time and energy choring eg. Washing by hand, sweeping etc. They also had better(but less varied) diets so their faces look a little gaunt compared to people today.
