Life during prehistory was believed to be, as Thomas Hobbes described: "nasty, brutish and short." However, this new study shows these teens were actually quite healthy. Most individuals in the study sample entered puberty by 13.5, reaching full adulthood between 17 and 22 years old. This indicates these Ice Age adolescents started puberty at a similar time to teens in modern, wealthy countries

Highlights

  • Puberty began by 13.5 years in the Mid-Late Upper Paleolithic.

  • Puberty data enrich archaeological interpretations of individual adolescents.

  • This is the oldest application of peptide analysis for biological sex estimation.
