Evolutionary comparisons may be used to detect and test candidate genes for these functions, under the hypothesis that the rapid evolution of the mammalian Y chromosome causes it to contain fe
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
