The chances of giving birth to a boy increases as you head south, according to researchers. They studied birth rates across Europe and found the proportion of boys over girls rose with the temperature. The research team at St. Luke’s Hospital in Malta could not suggest why this might be the case, but suggested warmth might affect fertility and gender ratios. It is known that the female fetus, is less fragile than the male fetus, which is more prone to the effects of the environment on pregnant women. [At least now we know who’s the stronger of the two genders.]
