Why do humans mature so slowly anyways? Compared to nearly every other animal, it's crazy slow!

We're social animals with big brains. Other great apes, elephants, whales, even some birds like parrots and corvids mature slower.

We rely less on our instincts and more on what we learn from the previous generations, and that takes time.
