Modern men's genes suggest that something peculiar happened 5,000 to 7,000 years ago: Most of the male population across Asia, Europe and Africa seems to have died off, leaving behind just one man for every 17 women.
This so-called population "bottleneck" was first proposed in 2015, and since then, researchers have been trying to figure out what could've caused it. One hypothesis held that the drop-off in the male population occurred due to ecological or climatic factors that mainly affected male offspring, while another idea suggested that the die-off happened because some males had more power in society, and thus produced more children.
Now, a new paper, published May 25 in the journal Nature Communications, offers yet another explanation: People living in patrilineal clans (consisting of males from the same descent) might have fought with each other, wiping out entire male lineages at a time.
That ratio of 17 females for every one male "struck us as being very extreme, and there must be another explanation," said senior study author Marcus Feldman, a population geneticist at Stanford University in California. According to their new explanation, the male population didn't take a nosedive, but rather the diversity of the Y chromosome decreased due to the way people lived and fought with each other. In other words, there weren't actually fewer males, just less diversity among the males.

What Biblical Data?
Hey, we’re here, they’re not. Good on us.
Like he could find it under all that fat...
The other men may not have died off but they went gay and played with each other - which is the equivalent of genetically death.
Why did most husbands die off 7,000 years ago?
Because they wanted to.
Ba dump bump tssssssss...

Odd that this would happen simultaneously in widely scattered populations at all stages of social development.
It’s exponential.
The men know...
Yep!
There’s plenty of Biblical Data to back up what you say. Not sure about the year itself, but yes - this event did happen and it wiped out billions.
Women then were not very smart. If they had a baby with a johnson they rembered that all the crap they just went thru was because of one on those and they probably thought they could just rip it off and make it a female. Hey! That sounds like what goes on today.
Something like 1 in 200 men alive today are direct descendants (father to son) of Ghengis Khan.
To the victors go the spoils......
Isn’t that about the last time homosexuals took over an entire culture? /s
“Something to think about — since this took place a thousand years before the Earth existed.”
The article says 5000-7000 years ago, which could be describing the effects of Noah’s flood.

Stupit
They don’t know that it was only one man to ever 17 women it was only 1 man reproducing with every 17 woman
The animal kingdom has this kind of harem type population all the time with one dominant male that has a Large harem of females and a bunch of outsider males are unable to reproduce
Its a fair bet Male and Female offspring when reproduced at roughly same 50/50 rate that we have today it was just that 1 male tend to dominate and a lot of males don’t get to reproduce...
Who knows it could be before the circumcision that castration of infant males was common leaving only one ..the oldest.. intact to reproduce
Taking a wild stab here:
war?
