Reply to comment by [deleted] in ELI5: how can the female to male population be almost 1:1 but men die more than women and the birth rate of men and women is almost equal (and the fisher principle doesn’t make sense because men have a higher death rate so how can it even out)? by noobia0009

To elaborate... I don't have the source but only about 50% of the male population is reproducing anyway so the more men dying in war/etc... just get swallowed up in the 50% not reproducing
