Some comments are made on two hypotheses on the variation of mammalian sex ratios (proportions male) at birth viz. Krackow's developmental asynchrony hypothesis and my parental hormone hypothesis. It seems not unfair to characterise his hypothesis as functioning to support the conventional Mendelian

Since submitting those papers, some sets of data have been published which bear on the hypothesis and on how it may be tested. In this note some comments are made on these new data sets. The hypothesis proposes that hormone levels of both parents at the time of conception affect the sex of the resu
Further evidence is adduced to support the hypothesis that the sexes of mammalian (including human) offspring are partially controlled by parental hormone levels at the time of conception. The evidence relates to variation of sex ratios at birth with (1) time of insemination within the cycle of seve
