Why did we set 18 as the age of majority?

I’m not asking this from a biology lens, I get that aspect, but more from the sociology/anthropology lens. My question is which culture started using 18 as this hard cutoff, when, and under what reasoning.

I’m curious what you mean by “not asking this from a biology lens, I get that aspect.” What is the biological reason that would single out the age of 18?
