Why humanity isn't extinct (true!)

TW (shouldn't need a TW, but I feel it does (does that even make sense): talk about reproduction (barely tho), gender importance and beliefs

If this is hard to understand, sorry, but just bear with me.

So I wondered about dominant and recessive traits. I also wondered about the chances of gender. Sometimes I thought "wouldn't the whole world become one gender eventually?" and "will human become extinct because of our genders?" I did some (okay, okay, "some" is kind of an understatement) research, and what I found out was kinda cool, so I'm posting about it.

So most people think that whether someone's born as male or female has an equal chance. Like a coin flip, or even and odd numbers. But actually, it's kinda uneven.

First off... the "Boy Bias" is real, and I ain't be lyin'
Statistically, the world doesn't do a 50/50 split. About 105 boys are born for every 100 girls. Why (it took me so long to confirm this omg)? Some scientists think male ***** are "speed runners" (lighter and faster), while others think it’s nature’s way of "pre-gaming" for the fact that males are, well... historically a bit more fragile and likely to die younger.

Females are the default.
In the womb, we all start out on the same developa- develpa- developo? (how the freak di I spell or say it ) Okay, Google says "developmental which sounds kinda weird. Anyways— ...developmental path. It’s only if a specific gene called SRY (on the Y chromosome) kicks down the door that the body turns to male. Without that one tiny genetic "glitch," everyone would be female. Basically, men are just a highly specialized DLC.

Nature has the one we all hate... autocorrect (gosh, I hate autocorrect)
I was worried that women would eventually go extict to babies would never be born again so all of humanity would disappear forever. (was that too long?) But evolution has a built-in safety called Fisher’s Principle.

If women ever became rare, having a daughter would be like winning the genetic lottery. She’d have her pick of mates (oo her hubby) and tons of kids, spreading the "girl-making" genes until the population levels out again. Nature literally won't let us stay unbalanced for long.

The "Old Age" Flip.
While boys take the lead at birth, women win the long game. In the US (and somewhat globally), women start outnumbering men by age 47. By the time you reach 100 years old, there are roughly 3 women for every 1 man.

The Takeaway
Males might be "dominant" in the birth stats, but females are the biological foundation (and the ones who actually survive to see the end credits).

The message: Let's stop having boys wish girls never existed or girls wish boys never existed... 'kay, y'all?
The real message: We’re basically a giant game of The Sims where the "Delete All" button is disabled yippeeeee

PS incoming

P.S. Did I forget to warn you this was boring? Oh, well.
