What signals the body to start puberty? Is it just a pattern of chemical reactions that starts changing the body around the same time? is there something that signals the body to start changing at a particular point?

Really good question. I don’t think the science guys have worked out exactly how the old biological clock is set . They know some genes that cause early and late puberty and there’s some common sense issue like if you’re starving puberty gets delayed vs starting a little early with obesity.
