Those numbers aren't constant or the same for every group of people. There are genetic pools where girls reach puberty earlier than that.

The linked paper doesn't obviously support the claim you're making here. Maybe I've missed something?

"The median age at menarche was 14.5 years (95% CI=14–15; Nindividuals=128; Nobservations=199), which is within the range of variation of modern populations."
