Before you get all pouty about how unfair it must have been, keep in mind that 1.) male babies are physiologically weaker than females, and the infant mortality disparity would be even higher prior to modern medicine, and 2.) boys oftentimes like to go off and kill each other in wars, leading to even better ratios for the ones smart enough to survive.

Life back then could have been like being a straight male flight attendant, for all we know.
