Abstract

The dizygotic twinning rate in Western Nigeria is the highest on record (45-50 per mil maternities). It is suggested that, rather than to peculiarities in the population structure or to genetic factors, such a high incidence might be due to the presence in the diet of estrogen-like substances.
