The most common birth month is August. The ratio to the least common is 1.14:1. Make of that what you will.

    Okay so let me think out loud

    August is month 8

    It takes 9 months for babby to formed

    Okay so 9 months prior to August is...

    Wait fuck does that include the first month

    No wait yeah

    So human mating season peaks in December

    Makes sense.

    In the north, it's too cold to go outside and play ball sport, might as well impregnate partner.

    In the south, it's too hot to go outside and play ball sport, might as well impregnate partner.

    So the solution to the declining birth rate is to criminalize ball sport

    I will take my findings to the UN

    TL;DR: it's actually November.

    Okay so 9 months prior to August is...

    You can simply subtract 9 or add 3 to the month number. If you want to verify, break out your hands and get counting months. Start with no fingers raised for November, then raise a finger every month you count, and see where you get to when you have 9.

    Wait fuck does that include the first month

    A duration is going to include the starting and ending months. Do a very simple example: January (1) to February (2) is one month (2 - 1 = 1).

    If you feel silly for messing this up, don't. Off by one errors are incredibly common. I always count them out just to double check em myself.

    But doesn't the 9 months of pregnancy technically start on the first day since a woman's last period? That's what makes anti-abortion laws even more absurd, because you can be 8 weeks pregnant if you only had sex 5 weeks ago.

    Lol had to look this up because it's complicated.

    https://flo.health/pregnancy/pregnancy-health/fetal-development/how-long-is-pregnancy

    “Ovulation [when an egg is released from your ovaries ready for fertilization] typically takes place around two weeks after the first day of your last period, and this is when a baby would be conceived. But because you won’t know that you’re pregnant until you’ve missed your next period, approximately two weeks later, you’ll already be four weeks pregnant when you get your positive test result. At that point, you’ll have approximately 36 more weeks to go,” Dr. Celestine says.

    So pregnancies typically last 10 months, but we say 9 months since you don't even know you're pregnant until you're 4 weeks pregnant. But anti-abortion laws still count that 4 weeks.

    UK plays and watches a lot of ball sport in December.

    I'm sure 9 months also includes November. November is when cold and dark starts. Cold and dark means people seek to get warm. Impregnate partner is warming.

    Also, I imagine there's another birth peak in November due to Valentines babies.

    There's a big peak around Christmas due to Easter, which sucks, because while there's a peak, fewer midwives are available because they too have more time off around christmas.

    Don't get pregnant during easter!

    Heatmap of birthdays

    Pretty much every country has a mating season. It's late autumn / early winter here in the UK. Birthdays all year round, but definitely peaking nine months after those long nights.

    Not what a mating season implies and that distribution actually proves we don't have one. Animals with mating seasons are usually only fertile during that period. They're not just extra horny.

    You would be better off arguing that humans are an opportunistic mating species with that data. With the information from a more resource starved period it might look closer to correct.

    Also consider social factors- chances are more baby's are made during celebrations, and wintertime has a BUNCH of those. I've hooked up with so many people after the NYE midnight kiss, lord knows how many kids I have running around this city.

    Mating season absolutely implies the season during which mating is most probable to occur. There are many animals that follow this behavior despite being able to mate multiple times per year.

    One good example from the top of my head is wild boar. They can pretty much mate all year round if they so wish. But choose not to. Their mating season is in spring, which is also the only time you're not allowed to hunt them.

    It's actually the mother that will keep an eye on her young and make sure they stick to their mating season. If you shoot the mother, her children might just start mating at irregular times and thus bearing young multiple times per year, which isn't that great considering they are an invasive species in a lot of countries.

    Technically, human mating seasons kind of exist but its a monthly pattern, not a yearly one. I guess.

    When one of the main characters of Freefall (webcomic), who is a genetically modified female red wolf, was asked "what's it like to be in heat?" She responded by saying that since humans don't have a mating cycle a more accurate question would be, "what's it like to not be in heat."

    Florence is a very patient lady.

    Ding Ding Ding

    Human Females are almost always carrying fertile eggs and producing pheremones and hormones related to the act of reproduction.

    The monthly cycle is as such:

    1. Primordial Follices form in the walls of the Ovaries

    2. Primary Follicles and Secondary Follicles continue to grow and expand until the egg cells are surrounded in cyst-like antrums, known as an Graafian Follicle

    3. The first Follicles to rupture release the eggs, AKA Ovulation, and the rest of them still developing in the walls die off

    4. Large amounts of Uterin Flesh is shed to allow for regrowth (painful and bloody)

    5. Repeat

    If you include every individual stage of the egg production and the healing there are about 8 or nine steps/phases.

    Also Human Males, a lot of Males in general actually, would fuck a mailbox any day of the week if it had some pheromones coming out of it.

    So yes, Humans are always in heat.

    also hidden estrus evolved at a means to prevent fighting among women, so we as a species have stronger social ties, it also menas men have no fucking clue when any woman is available or fertile for mating, so were just ready ALL THE FUCKING TIME. which is really exhausting...

    We do. 'Spring fever' is very real. What's less clear is why.

    Because suddenly everyone can shed clothing and be more social. The oppression of winter is over, and the promise of having food and plenty later in the summer is there. Makes sense to me.
