Abstract
If the birthdates of eminent soldiers, doctors, artists, and musicians are listed, then clusters occur at certain times of the year beyond chance expectation. Peak periods were found to be as follows: (a) soldiers—mid Summer to late Autumn; (b) doctors—early Summer to mid Autumn; (c) artists—late Winter to late Spring; and (d) musicians—late Autumn to middle Spring.Keywords
