Article about climate and gender in sea turtles...

Interesting article on climate and the affect on sea turtle gender. Not appliciable to humans, but interesting, nonetheless...
More sea turtles will be born female as climate warms, study shows | Environment | theguardian.com (http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/may/20/more-sea-turtles-will-be-born-female-as-climate-warms-study-shows)

yes reptiles gender is affected by temperature! mother crocodiles actually build their nests in certain ways to control the gender of their offspring. very interesting and while not applicable to humans, it still goes to show that it's very likely that some similar mechanism affects mammals.
