The acceleration we are seeing in the onset of puberty is likely not genetic. Just 50 years ago, the average age was around 16, now it's closer to 10 yrs.

Got anything to back this up? Even this scare story says the average age over the last 100 years is 13. I'm sorry, but I don't buy that most girls haven't gone through it until 16. Hell, Juliete from Romeo and Juliet was only 13 years old. What chemcals was she exposed to?

Back it up ... sure ... I have eyes. Look at your class yearbook. Mine is from the late 70's. Look at the girls in your class, then look at the boys. How many Freshmen had beards and mustache's then? Now take a look at THIS year's yearbook. The girls look more mature, at a younger age. This has hardly been ignored, several articles have been written about this. Common sense over-ride.
