Fertile competition

Abstract: Sperm competition has been held responsible for higher sperm production in males with a sexual rival. DREADCO biochemists are hoping to exploit this fact to create a 'conceptive' to help couples trying to conceive. Careful studies of sperm competition between different races may even produce a new map of human evolution.
