Or could it be that monogamous societies have an even number of each sex, and polygamous societies have more females?

Not in my case but I did read something about this, years ago though. There were statistics on babies in distress and premies. The girls tended to be a little bit better survivor.

There have also been correlations that a vegetarian diet increases the odds of having a girl. That effect even held true for upper class white vegetarians in England. Perhaps the link is lack of meat to lack of boys. The poor are more likely to be vegetarian because they can’t afford animal protien.

I’m with you. Diet seems to be the most likely variable which would account for this, assuming of course that their recitation of the data is accurate.

“The reason, simply put, is that women are tougher than men...”

Guess we should have sent shiploads of women to Iwo Jima and Normandy. The war would have ended immediately if not sooner.

If you take the preemies and high risks out of the data , then they need to be looking at the daddies, instead of the mommies:’)

Maybe so, my mother was poor always and had 9 girls and 3 boys, one boy died at 4 years of age, all the girls still live, with the eldest being 58. The 9 girls produced 12 children, the 2 surviving boys produced 5.
