What I wanted to say to you today is regarding the 50 Signs of the Day of Judgements. I've read several of these "lists" (for lack of a better word) and this one really caught my eye:
24. (in the future) The number of men will decrease, whilst the number of women will increase, until for every man there are 50 women.
and the reason this caught my eye was because I am a student, and I am currently taking a Genetics class. For one of our class activities, we went to Carnegie Hall in Washington D.C. and listened to a guest speaker, Dr. Page, who is the head of Whitehead Institute. What he spoke to us about that day was "The Rotting of the Y Chromosome"
I am sure that you are aware that the Y chromosome is a sex chromosome that gives the human the sex of a male. I thought it was very interesting when Dr. Page started talking about how the Y chromosome used to be longer and now it is considerably shorter/smaller than the X chromosome. The reason for this is unknown but it is believed that the Y chromosome is essentially "rotting" and in a matter of 10 million years or so, it will self-destruct and males will be born in few numbers.
