UVic-led study looks at puberty stages of Ice Age teens
New research, co-led by the University of Victoria, found that Pleistocene-era teenagers from 25,000 years ago went through similar puberty stages as modern-day youth.
Found in the bones of 13 ancient humans between 10 and 20-years-old is evidence of puberty stages according to the university. Researchers found specific markers in the bones that allowed them to assess the progress of adolescence.
