Across chordate species, individual in the same developmental phase of live are vulnerable to strikingly similar biological, environmental and social dangers. Patterns of developmental vulnerability across taxa can be discerned from built phylogenies which also reveal numerous evolved adaptive strategies. This lecture uses broad comparative and phylogenetic lenses to connect modern adolescent challenges —social anxiety, stress eating and vulnerability to sexual coercion—to the life histories and biologies of our adolescent animal ancestors.
