Why puberty starts earlier nowadays?

1.80K viewsBiologyOther

I’ve seen a study which found that the age of puberty (especially female puberty) is dropping rapidly. In 1860 it started around 16.8 and in 2010 it was 10.8. Why is that? Is there any explanation?

I’m not an expert but it doesn’t seem coincidental that in the last 100 or so years we’ve seen the average human body changing at the same time as we’ve rapidly introduced tons of new man-made ingredients and food-producing methods into our diet
