    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.
