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?
In: Biology
Source of that study? If that was true, it would mean that 16 year olds couldn’t get pregnant in the 1800s which without looking into it sounds 100% wrong.
eta: on reflection, that current age of 10.8 ALSO sounds wrong so I question both of those premises.
