摘要

童年和青春期是人类独有的两个生命史阶段,或者说,相对于其他灵长类动物,人类的生命历程在这两个阶段有了显著的扩展。最近的研究加深了我们对旧石器时代上层的童年的了解,但对这一时期的青春期的研究仍然不足。在这里,我们利用生物考古学成熟标志物来估计俄罗斯、捷克和意大利遗址中 13 个旧石器时代上层青少年的青春期状况,以 1) 评估将生物考古学青春期评估方法应用于旧石器时代上层(智人)骨骼个体的可行性、2)与使用相同方法分析的其他考古人群相比,估计旧石器时代上层青少年的青春期时间和节奏;以及 3)通过将青春期评估结果与个体和人群的健康、发病率和丧葬习俗数据相结合,描述旧石器时代上层的青春期特征。我们的研究结果表明,虽然大多数人的青春期在 13.5 岁时就已开始,但也存在很大的差异,阿雷内-坎迪德的青少年(AC1 和 AC16)死亡时年龄都在 16 岁左右,他们的青春期比同龄人长好几年。由于女性青少年很少,评估初潮年龄具有挑战性,但根据现有证据,初潮似乎发生在 16 至 17 岁之间。有些人在 17-22 岁时已经完全成年,这与现代富裕国家的情况类似,也比生活在城市化环境中的历史人群提前了。对旧石器时代上层青少年青春期的生物考古学分析对于研究人类生活史中青春期的出现以及了解过去和现在人类性成熟的可塑性发展具有重要意义。

An assessment of puberty status in adolescents from the European Upper Paleolithic.

Childhood and adolescence are two life-history stages that are either unique to humans, or significantly expanded in the human life course relative to other primates. While recent studies have deepened our knowledge of childhood in the Upper Paleolithic, adolescence in this period remains understudied. Here, we use bioarchaeological maturational markers to estimate puberty status of 13 Upper Paleolithic adolescents from sites in Russia, Czechia, and Italy to 1) evaluate the feasibility of the application of bioarchaeological puberty assessment methods to Upper Paleolithic (Homo sapiens) skeletal individuals, 2) estimate the timing and tempo of puberty in Upper Paleolithic adolescents compared to other archaeological populations analyzed using the same method, and 3) characterize adolescence in the Upper Paleolithic by contextualizing the results of this puberty assessment with data on individual and population-level health, morbidity and burial practices. Our results revealed that while puberty had begun by 13.5 years of age for the majority of individuals, there was a lot of variability, with the adolescents from Arene Candide (AC1 and AC16), both aged around 16 years when they died, taking several years longer to progress through puberty than their peers. 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. The bioarchaeological analysis of puberty among Upper Paleolithic adolescents has important implications for the study of the emergence of adolescence within human-life histories, as well as for understanding the developmental plasticity of sexual maturation across past and present human populations.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Human Evolution concentrates on publishing the highest quality papers covering all aspects of human evolution. The central focus is aimed jointly at paleoanthropological work, covering human and primate fossils, and at comparative studies of living species, including both morphological and molecular evidence. These include descriptions of new discoveries, interpretative analyses of new and previously described material, and assessments of the phylogeny and paleobiology of primate species. Submissions should address issues and questions of broad interest in paleoanthropology.
