Answer:

Biological magnification refers to a phenomenon where some of the substances like heavy metals or pesticides move up the food chain, make their way into the lakes or rivers, and are eventually consumed by aquatic species like fish. This, in turn, is further consumed by large species like large birds, humans or animals.  

This is associated with the health warnings given to pregnant women as too much eating of some kind of fish may influence the immune systems, that is, may affect the health of women who are pregnant.

(honest question) How come whenever archaeologists uncover human remains they are always male or female and not any of the other
Doss [256]

I think you're confused. There are only two sexes, male and female. Sex is what you were biologically born as from birth, while gender is what you choose to identify as. Gender is a choice, sex isn't. They couldn't discover any other genders because at the time they probably didn't even know what gender was like three thousand years ago, therefore they couldn't look like a different gender.
