I've never been able to sort out how the gene whose mutation caused the dependency on a hominid food source in Blindsight could be located exclusively on the Y chromosome - which would mean that all female humans are dependent on a hominid food source for the gene. Assuming this wasn't a subtle joke about all women being blood-suckers, is it just a flub, or am I missing some nuance? Thanks!
