the true ratio of male births to female births in the animal world is about 59/55 to 41/45%. On the human scale 106 males are born for every 100 females.Many countries have human populations that is exaggerated toward male birth . As China has a male ratio of 1.13 male for every female for every child born (some countries have as high as 1.23 males born to every female-). But, because the males have a X and a Y ( female have two X's)they have a tendency to have more birth or genetic defects, be still born, or die from SIDS. Premature male deaths from the ages 3- 30 ranked as 16 males for every 10 females.
This is similar to births in the animal kingdom, males births out number females--later they have to compete in order to reproduce--only the fittest reproduce in most cases.

NO! The ratio is about 51:49 to 52:48 at birth in favor of males. But, as mortality is higher for males, it evens out later on.
