Well I think what we have established is that it is all in DNA as most things are but what I ask is if there are more girls coming in families resulting in more ancestors then WHY are there more boys in the world

then WHY are there more boys in the world

This is not related to OP's question, but are there more males in the world? Keep in mind that males have lower life expectancies at all ages (due in part to taking more risks and that sort of thing).
