Cancer-causing gene found in donor sperm across Europe

And when you see it in big sizes, it's a friendly typeface.

It has a warmth, maybe even a little bit humanistic, even though it's a sensory font.

Yes, because one of the quotes from Marco Rubio's instruction to diplomats around the world was, he said they were going to go back to Times New Roman to restore decorum to the department's written products.

Still, SensRef works better in small sizes on core screens.

I'm just on the question of screens.

Yeah, just briefly and finally, are you confident that Calibri will survive this outrage?

Absolutely, yeah.

Are you more like a meerkat, gorilla, or maybe a Californian mouse?

Cancer-causing gene found in donor sperm across Europe

Well, all those animals feature in a new Monogamy League table which assesses how committed they and we are to pairing up.

Humans are apparently 66% monogamous, far above chimpanzees and gorillas, and similar to meerkats and beavers.

We heard more from lead author and anthropologist Mark Dybul.

Cancer-causing gene found in donor sperm across Europe

We know, of course, that humans vary cross-culturally and within cultures in our marriage practices, mating behaviour.

Global News Podcast
Cancer-causing gene found in donor sperm across Europe

But from an evolutionary point of view, there's value in stepping back and considering our species as a whole and characterising our mating system, as it were, in general mammalian context.

Global News Podcast
Cancer-causing gene found in donor sperm across Europe

So how do we compare to other species?

Global News Podcast
Cancer-causing gene found in donor sperm across Europe

That's partly because we're such a cooperative species and we often see the evolution of highly cooperative animal societies follow on from the evolution of monogamous mating.

Global News Podcast
Cancer-causing gene found in donor sperm across Europe

So we have these theoretical debates about how monogamous humans are today and were in human evolutionary history.

Global News Podcast

So what I did in the study was look at the proportion of full siblings versus half siblings we see in human societies and compare that to other mammals.

Global News Podcast

So for all the mammal data, it's all genetic.

For some of the human data, it's
