Messagebrief, for I have little time.
In history about 80% of women had kids while only 40% of men did. Moslty due to the fact that a man can impregnate as many women as he is able to reach in one year but a women can only carry one baby at a time.
It seem that we are descendent of double the number of women than of men[1]. If you go back with your family tree, soon you will find many ancestors in common between different branches of your family, and your family tree folding up. Well, it will be more common that you have the same male ancestor in different parts of the family tree than the same female ancestor.
So where did the other 60% of men end up doing?
Taken away the ones that went into spiritual practice, priesthood, kids, or animals, the others became warriors, explorers, jihadists (most of suicide bombers are single), and so on.
Now we have this situation in China, and in India is similar.
It is indeed a bomb, but is one that has been exploding little by little from millenia.
