THIS is what happens when you succeed in making an AI ( or Hoomin ) that can create MODERN KOANS.
You Bastard!!

That means that there is a positive-feedback-loop, between working-destitution-while-pregnant & inability-to-parent-because-of-working-destitution,
and those 2 combining to multiply the effect, in the produced Attachment Disorder...
Damn, damn, damn, why didn't that happen to be obvious...
"thousands of years ago" isn't the kind of resolution I was interested-in.
IF the genetic-drift-rate ( or whatever it's called ) of the critters is known,
THEN it should be possible to identify when they came here from Asia, through cladistics.
That may be another torpedo-hit in the "there is no evidence the Indigenous people were in the Americas significantly before the interglacial began" prejudice.
( there is already plenty of evidence that they were here, but when dealing with ideology-addiction/prejudice, you have to keep nailing the damn coffin closed, until the prejudice stays dead )
Some genes only work when got from a female parent, or from a male parent: iirc, that is called "imprinting".
Ttbomk, nobody knows why the effect happens.
Screwing with things for curiosity's sake is fine,
so long as you are paying the price for the screwery, right?
I'll bet that using only-male-chromosomes/genes for making new human lives will have some dire health-consequences for the new life.
There are alternatives:

MMT looks like it could be substituted, directly. Still nasty, but small usage, and removing lead & cadmium from our ecology should be high priority.
And, of course, replacing avgas engines with diesels would do it, as they can run on Jet-A or whatever.
This is all no-brainer territory.
The established aviation-engine manufacturers won't develop diesels,
& the upstarts keep going broke...
the LiquidPiston X-Engine is the brilliantest aviation engine I've ever considered, turning a Wankel rotary inside-out,
and the Astron Omega is .. insane ( I couldn't understand how the hell ANYBODY could even think of that ..
.. then I found out the inventor wasn't a piston-engines guy, he was a turbine-engines guy...
.. which explains it! )
I'd expect the IQ & life-potential of lives who grew-up near avgas-centric ( little ) airports to be damaged, consistently, by the lead.
Good!
Now do the correlation between toxoplasmosis ( tiny amoeba who infest braincells ) infestation's stress & Alzheimer's.
ScientificallyTestablePrediction: I bet there is a statistically-significant correlation!
