Yeah there's something that happens to our brains once we enter an age where we are supposed to be rearing offsprings. But I also suspect a strong socioeconomic factor as well. When you are no longer in university and in the work force or even a family of your own it changes priorities a lot.

... once we enter an age where we are supposed to be rearing offsprings. That's the idea, evolutionarily? Do you have sources for that? Not that it wouldn't make sense, but if our ancestors had kids as soon as they could then their offspring would have already been teenagers by the time their amygdala matured. I'd like to learn more.
