For purposes of comparison, skull dimensions were considered ultimate by 15 years of age and body measurements were considered ultimate by 10 years of age. 
 
*As I have been arguing for years. Biologists/park rangers measure and weigh grizzlies and put forth size averages which include bears as young as five years old which, though sexually mature, are sub-adult animals. That is why I view size averages given as false information. For the average-sized grizzly boar of any location, only bears 10+ years old should be included.
 
Explanation: Until the maturation of their reproductive capabilities, the pre-pubertal physical differences between boys and girls are the external sex organs. On average, girls begin puberty around ages 10–11 and end puberty around 15–17; boys begin around ages 11–12 and end around 16–17. 
*so, should 11 year old boys be included when deciding the average size of men?
