Is it true that the human population is split equally, fifty percent men and fifty percent women?
No. A Wikipedia reference reports the world population sex ratio is about 101 males to 100 females as of 2024, which contradicts an equal fifty-fifty split; a UK census dataset covers the male/female split for England and Wales only.
