Why Are There As Many Males As Females? 

It's Okay To Be Smart love from france. You always pick up interesting subjects

It's Okay To Be Smart why don't you ask and answer the question who raised the first humans? from a logical perspective it must of been aliens or some higher intelligence, you look at babies nowadays and there's NO WAY they'd be able to survive and adapt quickly like other animal's babies (what came first the chicken or the egg?)

There is one study about human population wich says 1000/700 sex ratio male /female Male live short life compare to female Till puberty there are more males and from puberty to old age more females But now they saying 1/1 equal And it is very with region

3iii's you know that there's something called evolution, right?

Not perfectly. There are slightly more males born than females. Perhaps to offset males dying off earlier than females. I'm talking about humans by the way.

@Nick K. I'm just trying to help anyone trying to avoid unwanted negativity. People can express themselves in any way they like. If someone says they're a woman, man, dog, cat, dragon, resurrected monarch, or whatever. Then I will respect their wishes. It's really not a hard concept to fathom and people that choose to spend their time shouting about things they don't understand are projecting their own insecurities on people that don't deserve it.

I should have listened.

yea its pretty ugly down there.

Like certain reptiles?

I heard it was to avoid incest

Like turtles and lizards? Yeah I don't know......

I believe it's supposed to be another way to balance the physical sexes. Some nests will produce mostly male, others mostly female, but many will have a roughly even split of the sexes. There's more to it than that, thou. Since males and females have no genetic difference, fitness of one sex usually translates to finess of the other sex for those same genes (minus mating selection pressures). So, for dominant female caimen, there's an advantage to producing more males... she's the fittest female who mated with the fittest male (since no second rate bloke is gonna best big momma), so she's got great genes in her eggs (generally speaking), so since she's got such great odds of them becoming very successful offspring, why not make them males? Males mate many more times than females in a breeding season. Sure, only a few males get to mate, but she's got some fit genes, surely any that survive to adult hood will likely be successful. And she's got great genes and so does daddy, so why not flood the future breeding seasons with her babies' hardy mix of genes, as much as possible? She'd get more grand-offspring, and their fitness is good for the species. So her better investment is in males. And she gets top pick of nest sights, so she can make that happen. Maybe 80% of her babies or more could be male, if she chooses well. For a low ranking female, she gets last choice of nests, so... she gets nest sight leftovers. Not to mention... her mate was probably the fittest male, unless, being on the outskirts of the area, a rogue male caught her and subdued her for some matings... but regardless, her own genes aren't the fittest. Yet, she's still alive and thriving well enough to breed. So, her better investment in the longevity of her genetic line is in females, who mostly all get to breed (except in times of hardship, where the resources to breed may dry up, taken wholy by the fittest...low ranking females may not breed every year, but they do breed most years... and even in the bad times when the dominant female challenges her and eats a lot of her children [to remove their competition to big mama's children] before they leave her care early to avoid the genocide, at least some survive)...so her reduction in nest choices is more about safety for her and her eggs than it is about the fact that as a second rate nest that it will probably produce more females, which she wants anyway. Exceptions to this situation may be when populations fluctuate and they find themselves in a situation where there's lots of males and almost no females... then a fit female may chose female offspring. Leaving the less fit females with a lot of reproductivly dead-end male children (with the potential for one or two exceptions, since daddy is probably that massive bloke over there, probably). Or, the dominant female does the same anyway and goes for sons, leaving more openings for other lines in the species/genetic gaps. 🤷 In the end thou, everyone wants daughters *and* sons... sure sons are the bigger winning ticket... but, that's only if they make it BIG. If they come in second place, well, they may hardly ever mate. Females are the steady maters... so if any female wants some guarantee that her genetic line continues, she needs some daughters. After all, what if the great male is hiding aweful genetic mutations? Or, what if one of his advantageous mutations is a bad mix with her genes? Better to have some daughters, just in case. And anyway, if many of her children survive, she'd want them to fill as many spots in the species as possible, and avoiding female positions within the species leaves those places open for others' lines to fill... not to mention having daughters opens up those other fit males to being mates with her children, allowing for more genetic opportunities for her line. As for a low ranking female and sons... everyone wants some sons, because, what if? As for those "resource eating" males... they're there in case something takes out all the big males, and they do occasionally swindle a random off the books mating helping to provide genetic diversity a little bit, and are especially a population insurance policy... if the main population dies, sure, most of the lesser males probably will too, but a few may be hardy if not big growers. They may be all that's left to carry the species on. That may not play out for every scenario, but every insurance policy helps the species, they add up. Over time the fittest females produce more males, while the less fit females overall produce more females. But it's near impossible to have any one nest as large as a camin's produce only one sex. This drives selection towards the fittest genes which benefits the population overall, while less fit females especially provide for genetic diversity, providing robustness for the population, which helps protect the species from disease and environmental changes. Overall, while there's biases both ways for the different kinds of opportunities that different lines inherently benefit from... everyone gets some genetic tickets for assurity and some possible BIG tickets. Everyone wins, in their own way. Overall physical sexual population split? About 50/50 each season.

@@elliotthill7008 What do you define as "forever"? Because what you said is nonsense

avoiding incest would be easier with a small amount of males and a lot of females then 50/50

@@est727xx5 wrong, if male population small like 1:10 ratio its will make lot of them are half sibling

*NO.*

Not all evolutionary stable strategies are 50/50 ratios. Organisms that can change sex are generally all born in one then a few will switch over when it would increase their fitness. Usually in a group of born females, one will become dominant and switch to male, taking all the reproductive fitness and not all any of the females to also switch over

This is already a major issue for some turtle species, warmer climates mean their female to male ratio is WAY out of whack.

Not all reptile have Sex Temperature Determination. My Leopard geckos do however, when breeding I can set the eggs to 80 degrees for all females, 87 for an equal mix, or 90 degrees for 98% chance of having all males. It's fascinating and super handy for how I want to breed my animals. Unfortunately bearded dragons, most snake species etc do not work this way. But you're right though, it's fascinating to see, perhaps it has some evolutionary advantage for their natural habitat.

Purplepoppyanimator what happens if u changed temp in between??

A lot of reptiles right now are actually changing the temperatures at which sexes are born at so the ratio is more likely to be stable, in some cases such as the lesbian lizard, all sexes become the same and the organism begins to reproduce half sexually half asexually which is hard to explain but basically all of the organisms are female so all offspring are female but it still requires two parents

Well its a good thing, even though some idiots wants us to be simple masculine men and feminine women, thats not the case, gays have existed for a long time, they are sometimes more feminine and in nature acts as a "carer" for others children etc, and for variation. Now different gender than the traditional i think is also inevitable and proves we humans are a more intelligent and special species, we do not have to abide and stick with what nature says. I think anyone who believes in science would see this.

@JohnKontos10 Except that intersex people are not a monolith, nor perfectly balanced between male and female as individuals; biological sex, like gender, is a spectrum, not a binary, Intersex people are the peak of the bell curve.

@JohnKontos10 Fair enough (except I didn't say "biological gender", I said "biological sex" -- but, again, fair enough).

That's only true for humans and domesticated animals, but we're still driven by instinct to seek out physically fit partners. Physical fitness is of huge importance to wild animals.

I doubt a 400 lb person would survive thousands of years ago, or even 100 years ago

No elephant seal looks like that, obviously. It's a joke.

@@bg.moogey actually those that are 400 lbs or fat in general probably have the instinct to eat as much as possible when there's the opportunity, so a long time ago, in an environment with little to no food they would probably be able to stay alive(and would not be able to reach 400 lbs in the first place) while those that have no appetite, or have a very active metabolism,with a caloric need to mactch, would probably be at constant risk of death. The reason because such people exist is that the traits that contribute to their obesity were beneficial in such an environment, but in the different environment that is the modern world, where food is overabundant, those same traits have now become unfevourable because, well they are at risk of getting obese, with all of the health complications of the case.

Well, almost all girls and most guys already work on that. It's just that there are another portion of guys who doesn't and think that they are entitled to automatically get a girl even tho they have stuff like bad hygiene and no social skills. Also girls who are feminists don't think that guys who dislikes feminists should like them. They don't expect anything from them so it's not the same.

Crazy how different families are, our family has a pretty 50/50 ratio.

In my region, up until recently there was two private high schools with one having only male students, and one only female students, plus three public schools that accepted both. About 20 years ago, I believe, the boy school let girls in at a ratio of about 1/3. Last year, they decided to make it 50/50. Meanwhile, the girl private school is still only girls...

Kshitij Kabeer I like my own comments you see ‘cause I’m afraid no one will notice me

how is that possible? are you confusing sex with gender or sexuality? You will either have XX(female) or XY(male) sex chromosome or in rare cases XXY(which i dont know what it is called) but you definitely fit in one of these.

So you're an incel.

Cynthia Goodman I'd imagine because a lot of diversity is still generated among the females. Even with a small number of males, it's still pretty unlikely you'll be anything but half related to someone, and they probably have some mechanism to avoid incest when possible. Plus, in that new generation, only a small number of new males mate, typically those with superior sexual selection, which likely weeds out noticeable deformation caused by genetic disease. It ain't pretty but, it probably works out fine most of the time.

Because if the incest creates a bad genetic mutation, then the offspring with the bad gene won’t get to mate and the bad gene won’t get passed along.

They don't, that's why they're so ugly.

nope... Lol it's 99.99% male And just about 0.01% fe-MALE

Actually I think the ratio change by 1% up and down every generation, is a trivial oscillation. Right now, I believe is 51% female, 49% male (in humans). Bud I could be wrong. And sorry for the bad English.

TheFonfur apparently as of 2017 it was 49.555% female and 50.445% male, that might have changed slightly but apparently there are more males now? I thought you were right cuz I was told that there were more women for a while, but it turns out that is not the case....

Thank you. Look like they can't conquer the world as easy as I thought XD. (Is a joke)

Thanks guys !

The Ratio of male to female is 49:51. So your technically correct.

Well, many of us just suck at "getting it on" and as men, in most cultures, if you don't do it right or at all then you are bound to be single. HOWEVER, if approaching women is a problem for you, there are many cultures where women are proactive at "getting it on" as well so looking towards those directions can be worthwhile. As a caucasian - go to Indonesia and you are guaranteed to have enough attention to find a partner without difficulty.
