No one seems to have pointed this out, but grains (carbs) increase insulin. Insulin is the founding hormone that tells your body to make more hormones of all types and to build things up. Add that to the increased body fat (also caused by insulin) storing up plenty of extra estrogens and it's no question to me at all why agricultural societies had increased population and younger physical maturity.
Of course, the growth hormones currently used in the mainstream meat industry COULDN'T POSSIBLY have anything to do with the recent jump in the ages of girls reaching puberty. Down to 9 from 12. Nope, not possible. Our government told us so.
