Testicle size 'link to father role'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-24016988


A link between the size of a father's testicles and how active he is in bringing up his children has been suggested by scientists.

Researchers at Emory University, US, said those with smaller testicles were more likely to be involved with nappy changing, feeding and bath time.

They also found differences in brain scans of fathers looking at images of their child, linked to testicle size.

But other factors, such as cultural expectations, also played a role.

So what are they trying to say, males with less testosterone are better fathers? Lulz!

I think this " study " is nonsense.

I wonder if it is the total testicular mass, the average of two, the larger or the smaller, or the left or right.

Without this info the ball data is just a correlation.
