Science to the Rescue - the Science of Adolescence -3-Year Streaming

Adolescence is a time when cute children suddenly become rebellious teenagers. The latest scientific research suggests this is deeply related to a “special mechanism” uniquely acquired during evolution; the troubling adolescent behavior is actually a part of human brain development. In this era of rapidly shifting social environments, the special workings of the adolescent brain are putting our children under enormous pressure, sometimes causing depression, bullying, and even suicide. Through scientific experiments and evolutionary anthropology, this program uncovers the secrets of the sensitive adolescent mind. Length 49 min. © Copyright 2014
