The figure showing the bursts is at [1], and the Nature article itself is at [2].
All the people in the study lived in California, perhaps near Stanford where many of the authors are. It would be interesting to repeat the exact same process on a completely different cohort, say a South American tribe. Or for that matter, farm workers from California's Central valley.

Why do all those graphs peak at the same ages so clearly?
I am probably missing something, but if this phenomenon is so clearcut in the graphs, how come it took so long to be discovered?
Or for that matter, on all of the above, and any other groups one can think of; and perhaps also a "group of random individuals" study or three.
