Ah, a fine point. I'm nearing 40 years of age myself, but it's true that I'm rather on the younger end of my species' maturation scale — or race's maturation scale, if you'd like to put it that way.
Just to get any potential questions out of the way, Earth is one of those worlds with only one human species variant, correct? No species or subspecies? My world has several dozen different types of humans with different maturation rates, so we tend to refer to age by relative maturation, not years, unless we're in a conversation with our own kind.
