New research has identified the key to becoming male is an enzyme that “unravels” DNA to trigger male development of the embryo, a discovery that may give greater insight into intersex disorders.

University of Queensland and Japanese scientists observed that mice lacking the Jmjd1a enzyme developed as females despite having a Y chromosome.

The study is published in the leading international scientific journal Science.

That doesn’t necessarily apply to humans. Genes move about from chromosome to chromosome all the time. For example, the positions of genes on chimpanzee chromosomes are often quite different to the positions of the equivalent genes on human chromosomes.

Are the PC police allowing us to say that being ‘intersex’ is a ‘disorder’ now?

Study links testicle size to how men raise children

A United States study measuring fathering habits and testicle size suggests that bigger may not be better when it comes to the day-to-day raising of small children.

The research involved 70 American men of varying ethnicities – most were Caucasian, five were Asian and 15 were African-American.

All were the fathers of children aged one to two.

The larger the volume of their testes, the less the men were involved in daily parenting activities like changing diapers, the study by researchers at Emory University in Georgia found…
