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.

It’s only a suggestion from what I can tell. Plenty of DAs charge people way below 18 as adults! What’s the point of having an age of majority if you can just charge anybody you want as an adult. I was close to 18 when the drinking age was changed to 21. I don’t disagree with that, but the age of majority should be moved to at least 21.
