Regardless of cultural mores, the brain has not actually completed its physical maturation until the early 20's. The fact that older cultures had different standards of adulthood does not mean the science was any different.

In other words, a child is not physically capable of what we would consider adult thought. Children were never capable of what we would currently consider adult thought.
