Assessing the age of menarche was challenging due to the paucity of female adolescents, but based on the available evidence, it appears to have occurred between 16 and 17 years of age. For some, full adulthood had been achieved by 17–22 years, similar to the patterns seen in modern wealthy countries and in advance of historic populations living in urbanized environments.'</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/adolescence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adolescence</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/lifehistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lifehistory</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/humanevolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanevolution</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/anthropology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anthropology</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/burials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>burials</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004724842400085X?dgcid=raven_sd_via_email" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sciencedirect.com/science/arti</span><span class="invisible">cle/pii/S004724842400085X?dgcid=raven_sd_via_email</span></a></p>

If that were representative (but Krapina is not nec typical, very fragmentary sample, with something odd happening to these people) one implication would be very few surviving maternal grandmothers. That is potentially a critical difference compared with <a href="https://c.im/tags/Homosapiens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Homosapiens</span></a>. It could also explain a Neanderthal tendency for 'patrilocality' or females moving out to join a group where males were related. There is some genetic evidence to support that.<br> <a href="https://johnhawks.net/weblog/krapina-age-at-death-cementum-menarche/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">johnhawks.net/weblog/krapina-a</span><span class="invisible">ge-at-death-cementum-menarche/</span></a></p>
