Hypothetical scenario: Human development and aging are accelerated - Page 2

Over the course of a couple generations (evolution Hollywood style?), human biology changes drastically and irrevocably. We start to develop mentally and physically much faster, and our lifespans fall to the 30-40 year range. Infancy now lasts less than a year, and our children are well into the childhood stages by the time they're two. Sexual maturity is around ten. "Old age" is late twenties-ish, but we're generally physically and mentally more fit in our later years.

How do things go for society and humanity in general?
