Can you list the changes in human bings that are indicative of reproductive maturity?

Reproductive maturity in humans is indicated by several physiological changes, including the onset of menstruation in females (menarche) and the development of secondary sexual characteristics, such as breast development and widening of hips. In males, signs include the growth of facial and body hair, deepening of the voice, and increased muscle mass. Both sexes experience changes in body composition, including increased fat distribution in females and muscle development in males. Additionally, hormonal changes, particularly the rise in sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, play a crucial role in signaling reproductive maturity.
