What is "general maturity"? What is the scientific tool used to measure it?
or you just made up some bullshit to justify your bigotry against young adults aged 14-20?

This is an urban myth. It has been thoroughly debunked.
re: "our level of intelligence requires a longer incubation time"
Your example was dogs. They reach adulthood in around 1 year. We take longer, yes, about 14 years.
The Tanner Scale measures puberty.
Puberty is the line between childhood and adulthood.
It's really that simple.
If you think there is some other better line, then present your case. Casting dopey aspersions on me just makes you look like a fool.
There are clear obvious scientific facts at work here. They are not technicalities.
How I feel does not make reality real. If I feel like a dog, I am still human.
Nature makes us adults. The process is called puberty. There are several visible objective secondary sexual characteristics which make pretty damned clear who is where in the process.
Many 13 year olds are still pubescent. None are children. Nature turns children into adults. There is lots of individual variation.
What turns a kitten into an adult cat? Puberty.
What turns a puppy into an adult dog? Puberty.
What turns a child into an adult human? Puberty.
This is not difficult.
Yes it has.
and internet randos claiming qualifications they obviously don't have is pathetic trollery.
