Research reveals reality of Ice Age teen puberty
University of Victoria ^ | September 12, 2024 | Press release

Posted on 09/19/2024 6:36:18 AM PDT by SunkenCiv

Landmark new research shows Ice Age teens from 25,000 years ago went through similar puberty stages as modern-day adolescents. In a study published today in the Journal of Human Evolution of the timing of puberty in Pleistocene teens, researchers are addressing a knowledge gap about how early humans grew up.

Found in the bones of 13 ancient humans between 10 and 20 years old is evidence of puberty stages. Co-led by University of Victoria (UVic) paleoanthropologist April Nowell, researchers found specific markers in the bones that allowed them to assess the progress of adolescence.

"By analyzing specific areas of the skeleton, we inferred things like menstruation and someone's voice breaking," says Nowell.

The technique was developed by lead author Mary Lewis from the University of Reading. Lewis's technique evaluates the mineralization of the canines and maturation of the bones of the hand, elbow, wrist, neck and pelvis to identify the stage of puberty reached by the individual at their time of death.
