Yes, I've tried similar searches and it results in total confusion. One reads nutrition is the key, then reads in The Historically Slippery Age of Puberty that Puberty is happening earlier now. Girls in the West, particularly those living in poverty, get breast buds a year or two earlier in the 21st Century than they did in the mid-20th Century... Which doesn't fit the nutrition paradigm very well. Puberty is a mystery worthy of sex! I might look through some more of those references but I don't hold out much hope of getting an idea of how a 12yo boy-pubescent differs from a 15yo pubescent. I quizzed AI on why poor nutrition delays puberty rather than speeds it up. Surely a stressor like that should prompt a quicker attempt to pass on genes. AI suggested it's complicated pay-off scenario, different strategies get triggered. So just more confusion. |
