Interesting.

I would like to know more about these studies though as it suggests that Jat Sikh boys tend to develop facial hair even faster than athletes.


"Development of Facial Hair:
Table 5 presents the median age
and standard error of median age of all the
four stages of development of facial hair. It
is evident from the table that all the stages
of facial hair development have shown
earlier appearance in athletes with
significant differences in stage II and III as
compared to control boys (Table 5). The
athlete boys when compared with Jat Sikh
boys studied by Bhatnagar et al. (2000)
have shown delayed appearance of all
stages except I
stage but have shown
earlier appearance of all stages than Khatri
boys reported by Bajaj (1991).
