最近的生理成熟早和社会成熟晚的对立趋势提出了一个明显的生物-社会不匹配的难题。在这里，我们使用进化生态学的生活史分析来确定驱动这些转变的力量。结合发展科学的发现，我们的生活史分析表明，青春期是文化生物嵌入的一个独特时期。民族志证据表明，大众教育是青少年全球化文化配置的一个新特征，这是由劳动、生计和生活方式的转变所驱动的。对青少年所经历的生活史权衡和社会文化生态的评估可以为促进他们的发展提供一个实际的基础。
Recent opposing trends towards earlier physical maturation and later social maturation present a conundrum of apparent biological-social mismatch. Here we use life history analysis from evolutionary ecology to identify forces that drive these shifts. Together with findings in developmental science, our life history analysis indicates that adolescence is a distinctive period for biological embedding of culture. Ethnographic evidence shows that mass education is a novel feature of the globalizing cultural configurations of adolescence, which are driven by transformations in labour, livelihood and lifestyle. Evaluation of the life history trade-offs and sociocultural ecologies that are experienced by adolescents may offer a practical basis for enhancing their development.
