We sortof do, there's a huge cluster of birthdays roughly july to september
here's a chart!![](https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/516aa49c-1684-4994-b87c-ea5534967d4b.jpeg)
what's fascinating to me about this is how people are clearly using medical science to avoid giving birth on certain holidays.
Doctors also influence the avoidance of holidays there
that's a good point! nobody wants to do labor of either kind on xmas.
Fascinating stuff but is this a global chart or is it limited to a single country? Or hemisphere?
judging from the weird void on july 4th, i am guessing it is based on data from the US. probably based on census records.
So Christmas?
Or just winter, I think. Lots of people indoors with nothing better to do.
Edit: actually, I'm curious how this chart looks for just the southern hemisphere.
