Deep-voiced men 'have more kids'
BBC News - One Minute World News ^ | 9/25/07 | BBC News Staff

Men with deep voices tend to have more children than men who speak in a high-pitch, scientists say.

Their finding is based on a group of hunter-gatherers in Tanzania known as the Hadza, who can be studied without bias because they use no birth control.

Males who hit the lower notes as they talked had about two more children on average than squeaky speakers.

It fits with observations that women find baritones more attractive, the team reports in Biology Letters.

My voice is relatively low ...

And my wife is pregnant with our second “birth-control baby”.

Coincidence?

We’re going to have to start using kryptonite as birth control. Ha!

What, if anything, does the study conclude about deep-voiced women?
