--============_-1226477534==_ma============ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Jim and Rebecca have a point, but I don't think it explains the higher incidence of infanticide for baby girls. Is there a gender difference in the pitch ranges of children's voices at that age? Anyway, in my informal experience, baby boys are more likely to scream constantly than baby girls - has this been documented anywhere? -Diana Deutsch -- Diana Deutsch Professor of Psychology Department of Psychology University of California, San Diego La Jolla, CA 92093, USA tel: 858-453-1558 fax: 858-453-4763 e-mail: ddeutsch(at)ucsd.edu dd(at)philomel.com --============_-1226477534==_ma============ Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- blockquote, dl, ul, ol, li { margin-top: 0 ; margin-bottom: 0 } --></style><title>Child's scream</title></head><body> <div><font face="Geneva" size="+2" color="#000000"><br> Jim and Rebecca have a point, but I don't think it explains the higher incidence of infanticide for baby girls.
