Nature is designed to favour the conception of boys from September to November and girls from March to May because of an evolutionary mechanism aimed at keeping the overall sex ratio as near to 50:50 as possible, the scientists said.

Some try crystals under the bed, others a Harley Street doctor but scientists have found the best way of improving the chances of conceiving either a boy or a girl. Couples who want a boy should try to conceive in autumn and those who want a girl have a better chance if they can conceive in spring, a study has found. Nature is designed to favour the conception of boys from September to November and girls from March to May because of an evolutionary mechanism aimed at keeping the overall sex ratio as near to 50:50 as possible, the scientists said. A team led by Angelo Cagnacci, a gynaecologist at the Policlinico of Modena in Italy, investigated the conception dates of 14,310 births at his clinic between 1995 and 2001 to see if the sex ratio varied substantially. The normal balance of the sexes is tilted in favour of girls because of a higher mortality of males in the womb and at birth. That was why nature had tried to level the playing field by favouring boys in the best months for conception, Professor Cagnacci said. Couples are known to conceive more easily in autumn than in spring – a leftover from the days when ancient humans were seasonal breeders – but what was not known was that this also coincided with a significant shift in the sex ratio. Research in the journal Human Reproduction shows that 535 males were conceived in the most fertile month of autumn as opposed to 464 females, while only 487 males were conceived, compared with 513 females, in the worst month of spring. "What is fascinating is the degree of disparity in the sex ratio, that the numbers of boys conceived compared with girls was so much higher in the favourable months when overall conception rates were high and so much lower in the unfavourable months when overall conception rates were low," Dr Cagnacci said. The scientists could not explain the mechanism, but Dr Cagnacci suggested it occurred early in pregnancy.

Read More »Although English colonists in Virginia did not invent slavery, and the transition from a handful of bound African laborers to a legalized system of full-blown chattel slavery took many decades, 1619 marks the beginning of race-based bondage that defined the African American experience.
In late August, 1619, 20-30 enslaved Africans landed at Point Comfort, today's Fort Monroe in Hampton, Va., aboard the English privateer ship White Lion. In Virginia, these Africans were traded in exchange for supplies. Several days later, a second ship (Treasurer) arrived in Virginia with additional enslaved Africans. Both groups had been captured by English privateers from the Spanish slave ship San Juan Bautista. They are the first recorded Africans to arrive in England's mainland American colonies. The landing of the first Africans in Virginia is one of the most significant events we interpret. Although English colonists in Virginia did not invent slavery, and the transition from a handful of bound African laborers to a legalized system of full-blown chattel slavery took many decades, 1619 marks the beginning of race-based bondage that defined the African American experience. Hampton's status as the location for the first landing is a double-edged sword. We are uniquely positioned to tell a powerful story, but it is a challenging narrative fraught with controversy, myth, and contradictions that strike at the heart of the intersection between American slavery and American freedom. If for no other reason, it is important we have a conversation about what took place at Point Comfort in 1619 because it forever changed the course of the country. The legacy of this event affects us all and understanding this complex history and legacy helps us to come together as Americans.
