“…These discrepancies could be attributed partially to differences in methodology, especially the ways of grouping subjects (categories of birth order, sexual orientation groups, and so on) in different studies. Another possibility is that, most probably, the recorded effects are not caused solely by interactions between siblings themselves (through their mother at the individual level) but also (at the population level) by nonrandom relationships of digit ratio with sex ratio in progeny––the tendency of females with low 2D:4D ratio to give birth to more sons (Kim, Oh, Kim, Yoon, & Kim, ; Manning, Martin, Trivers, & Soler, ; Ventura et al, ), in connection to inheritance of digit ratio and possible positive assortment in 2D:4D ratio in parents (Manning, ). However, our results regarding the effect of SR in sibship on digit ratio were in disagreement with this prediction: more sex‐typical 2D:4D ratios were found in children from mixed sibships, while in one‐sex siblings the 2D:4D ratios were less sex‐typical.…”
