Planets of The Hainish Cycle - Seggri

Seggri

Seggri is a planet noted for its extreme gender segregation, and for having sixteen adult women for every adult man. Its history is told in a novelette, "The Matter of Seggri" which appears in The Birthday of the World. The people are of Hainish descent. A Hainish visitor believes that the imbalance of the sexes is another ancient genetic experiment of her remote ancestors.

My ancestors must have really had fun playing with these people's chromosomes. I feel guilty, even if it was a million years ago.
