Asari usually leave their parents when they're 60, which means that 60 would be the equivilant to a human 18. That would mean that Liara's age equivilant is probably around 20 to 22. 25 at the most. 

Just because, they are comparatively young when they leave the nest, doesn't mean, that they are physically mature. Just like smart enough at the age of 10 to leave home and by society accepted as mentally old enough, but still some way to go to complete growth and finish puberty.

....?

That's different. 60 is not the age where Asari are considered smart. It's when they are considered fully physically and mentally mature and allowed to go out into the galaxy by themselves. This is the Asari's "coming of age," which means it's basically the analogue of turning 18. Unless you live in a society where you're considered fully physically and mentally mature at 10.

Why is it that asari, the only "human" looking race has 4 fingers and a thumb but all non-"human" looking races default to 2 and a thumb?

How do you shoot a pistol while only holding the grip with 1 finger?

Well the Quarians have two fingers and a thumb, and look human like...

Guys, you are all talking in social terms about what I asked. Being considered an adult and being able to procreate are two different things, stop telling me about when asari leave their parents.

In ME1 Laria says that even at 100 she is considered almost a child.

If I had the guess socialy they would not be thought of as full adults until they are around 200.

I'm asking not socially goddamnit. I'm asking biologically. Where'd that science guy go?!

meant not asking socially

Nope. Liara is definetly old enough. Shepard's just twice as old in comparison

Honestly, I think due to the fact that they have stages of life, they're considered children until they reach Matron.

Maidens are the rebellious teens
Matrons are the mothers
Matriarchs are the wizened elders.

Samara says that Ardat-Yakshi are discovered when they reach physical maturity and that her daughters were diagnosed when they were 40. This means that the age of physical maturity is most likely around the 30 to 40 year mark.

What color is considered "dark-skinned" for Asari? What colour do they get when they get a tan?

Well. It can be that way. How many Asari societies have you visited so far? *g*

I'm pretty sure the youngest asari we've seen has to be that one on Illium talking to her salarian father. She'd have to be under 30, right?

I believe she speaks of how her father before the salarian was a human. If that's the case the oldest she can be is 28. I might be wrong about her father being human, though.

I dont think they ever say the race of her father but the Salerian does say something along the lines of "your mothers last mate, your father would get her things" which would mean she could be any age.

How long are Asari children? Is it relative, meaning are they infants for ten years? And are those head tentacles muscle or cartilage?

Given their skin color, it is quite clear that Asari do not have melanin. Perhaps some alternative, but they most likely do not, "Tan." In terms of dark skinned, they run the gamut of blues. So a dark skinned asari would be around purple with a very 'pale' asair being closer to baby blue.

They're cartilage. Liara says so in ME3.

Also, why do they name their hotels after their genitalia?

You've seen their ships, right? Say what you will about men and their design...preoccupations...but at least a phallic symbol is also its own superstructure and structurally-sound.

I remember her calling the salarian 'dad' though. I might be thinking about something else.

Because he's her STEP-dad.  The salarian is her mothers second husband.

We know nothing of the Asari aging process other then they live to be a 1000, 60 seems to be the time most leave the home, and 300 is when they start having kids of their own.

Everything else is guess work until the writers decide to give us a fully detailed explantion of the Asari life cycle.

I've always wondered whether Asari find non humanoid non intelligent creatures, aka animals, sexually attractive and whether or not they'd be able to produce children with them.

Since their reproduction relies on the nervous system, and the culture favors kowledge and wisdom, one would think Asari would find intelligent species more attractive than non intelligent species...

They're cartilage. Liara says so in ME3. 

when?

She's having a conversation with Joker over the comm system in me3. You can choose to side with her or Joker. Siding with Joker will have her reveal the tentacle information.

She says this if you support Joker when they are having a talk about it via interocm.

Why is the Asari's system called Athena?

So I think this is because they named the system after their goddess, Athena, who was actually just a Prothean...as you find out on Thessia.

The Asari's goddess name was Athame, not Athena...close enough I guess.<_<

I believe it's said somewhere in ME3 that Athena was one of the first priestesses of Athame, or one of her disciplies or something. Might be remembering it wrong, though.

It could also be that Asari need a certain level of brain development, and thus intelligence, in order to join.
