Gender a perso(cid:374)"s so(cid:272)ial and cultural identity. The two sexes may not necessarily have the same reproductive interests. This can lead to divergent evolutionary adaptations, as each sex seeks to maximize its own reproductive fitness. The world record for having the most number of children officially recorded is 69 by the first of two wives of feodor vassilyev (1707-1782). In 27 confinements, she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets! The most prolific father of all time is mulai ismail (1646-1727). 342 daughters and 525 sons and by 1721 he was reputed to have 700 male descendents! Then a study in 2003 suggested that up to 16 million people worldwide (. 5% of men) and 8 per cent of asian men were descended from genghis khan and his relatives!! Males can experience much more variance than women.
