Science Now Says You’re Not Actually an Adult Until 32

Scientists say the human brain does not move through life in one smooth arc. Instead, it hits five major phases, with turning points at ages 9, 32, 66 and 83 — a timeline that pushes “full adulthood” into the early thirties.The findings come from nearly 4,000 brain scans of people ages 0 to 90, analyzed by researchers at the University of Cambridge.
