Whenever people like you go this "its just biology/science!" route they always conveniently forget that the animals you're comparing us to aren't sapient and don't require the time for mental development that humans do. a sixth month old dog might be physically and mentally an adult but human psychological development doesn't end until about 23-25, our level of intelligence requires a longer incubation time.
You pretend biology is on your side by ignoring psychology entirely.
re: "human psychological development doesn’t end until about 23-25"
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.
It has not. Greetings, a psychologist.
Yes it has.
and internet randos claiming qualifications they obviously don't have is pathetic trollery.
