1.Your Answer: Age estimates for adults are less accurate than for juveniles because bone growth and development stop at around age 25, making it more difficult to accurately estimate an individual's age based solely on skeletal remains. In contrast, juvenile skeletal remains can provide more reliable information about age due to ongoing growth and development.
