I think "show" might be an overstatement.  "Suggests", or "implies"
might be better.  There are a lot of ways of drawing lines through the
points on the graphs, and coloration does not prove causality. =20

Given the small changes in the ratios (1.055 to 1.047 male/female range
in the US, for example), there are a lot of confounding factors I would
want to see dealt with.  For example, it wouldn't take many abortions
for sex selection to mess up the numbers (NOTE: I am not saying that is
what happened, just using it as an example). =20

This strikes me as a particularly easy thing to test with animal models,
though I know that is more expensive than searching databases.  But I
think I would want to see some animal testing and perhaps a model as to
the mechanics of how it happens before I got too excited.=20
