    Wow this is some Children of Men type scenario. I didn’t realise it was so marked.

    Its so dramatically lower, yet populations seem to increase. The yarn is it decreases in the modern areas and is mainly third world but this would include the third world. I guess maybe we caught it so quickly and identified the two culprit pesitcides apparently as well. It does not really give any information about the historical levels of sperm count. I would really like to know how well the fellas where swimming in the victorian era. I dunno these sperm count articles seem all the rage recently but for someone like me its like. Good news.
