Adult

The term adult describes any mature organism, but normally it refers to a human: one that is no longer a child and is now either a man or a woman. When someone becomes an adult, they enter adulthood.

For humans, the legal definition of entering adulthood varies between ages 17-21, depending on the region in question. Some cultures in Africa define adult at age 13, but most other civilizations consider this the teenager stage.
