When you present such a collection, you have to know a whole lot to defend it.
I have great respect for those who collect, and present, and can defend.

Most matings between humans are infertile.  It's because human females
don't go into heat, so when they mate they're mostly just fooling.

Also, Kalahari is a desert; the Bushmen probably can't afford to increase
their population without starving.  They must have developed some methods
to reduce their fertility, else they would have died out.  Your source,
did it test fertility for Bush-persons away from possible social and
chemical means to reduce fertility?  Or was it just casual experimentation
