The Science of Animal Adolescence: Exploring Commonalities.

Adolescence, a period of physiological and social changes, is not unique to humans, but is experienced by most, if not all, animals, according to researchers. Young chimps experience a growth spurt and learn to integrate into adult society, spending less time with their parents and more time with their peers. Other animals, such as grassland birds and Gentoo penguins, also exhibit adolescent behaviors, including sleeping late and returning to their parents for help. Juveniles become more tolerant of risk and engage in group think, similar to human teenagers. Understanding these links between humans and animals can be unifying and help us navigate our own challenges.
