MarlonRando: From the beginning of human history to about the 1980’s, all ~~mom’s~~ moms were “teen moms.”

Albion Wilde: Not always... there was a cultural habit among the poverty-stricken Irish [...]

Please, don't quibble! What MarlonRando said is OVERWHELMINGLY true!

For the vast majority of human history and pre-history, teen moms were the RULE!

Or do you really believe that hunter-gatherer tribes would have survived if the girls waited until their 20s to marry and bear children?! Or that in early agrarian societies that would have functioned?!

The human species would have gone extinct!

Actually the median marriage has been in the 20s for centuries and dipped down in the 50s and 60s to the low 20s.
