Thanks for the link! I am not a biologist so my understanding is limited. I meant that men who had it would pass it on to their daughters some how. And it would only show if a person had it on both their x and y. It also appears that men who do not have it on their Y somehow eliminate it on their daughters X. This is only based on observations of people in my family, and observations of some documented Native American families. I have very little understanding of the mechanics, but I know what I observe. It is hard for me to find research as I get inundated with information hawking cures and treatments. Thanks again. Edit: I think if someone studied the men who do not experience hair loss and compared it to a study of men who do experience hair loss, it would become clear what causes hair loss.

The men who share my Y, all my brothers, dad's brothers, their sons, on up the line, never go bald. Never ever. All of their daughters, who have sons, are not bald, even when they marry bald guys. When we marry daughters of bald guys, no one goes bald. We also have almost no body hair and struggle to grow beards. My sister's son, whose dad is very bald, has super full hair and bear-like beard and body hair. Native Americans also would not go bald or grow body hair until colonization. My family came from the ancient aristocracy of France, often written as the most ancient. My conclusions. Baldness is carried on the Y, and those Ys pass it to the X. It probably has to do with the lack of a gene more so than a mutated gene. Treatments or theories related to elevated testosterone or stress most likely have a degree of validity among the men whose Y carries baldness. I view baldness as a symptom of a condition, not the actual condition. I view blond hair to have the same source, or same type of condition. I feel elevated testosterone and body hair is the body's response to this condition. Currently I am looking at the physical length of various Y haplogroups as the cause, and the gametes interactions as the mechanism to determine the degree of hair loss. The elevated testosterone being the body's response. I feel professional investigation of this hypothesis may lead to the discovery of many genetic illnesses, as well as genetic predisposition for general health. Amazingly, this effect and conditions related to it appear in very old histories. I began to look into this while writing a comprehensive history of my family. If anyone with the means to professionally investigate this wants more information, please contact me.

Is there a free resource where I could read more about this? I am trying to chase down something for a story I am writing, so the more I know the better. Any study that takes an objective look at different lengths among individuals, especially if it relates to health. I found one picture, but I believe they did not study a wide variety of Ys.

I understand that the Y-chromosome is much shorter in length than the X-chromosome. I understand that the Y-chromosome is slowly, very slowly, getting shorter. In humans we have several different haplogroups of the Y-chromosome. Are all of the haplogroups the same length? Are all of the PAR regions of the same length and in the same place? Could length of the Y-chromosome affect the health of the gametes?
