There are a decent number of combinations of the X and Y chromosomes, not just XX and XY. If I remember correctly there are about 6 more common combos

    yes the majority of humans just have one or the other and mutations and disorders can cause variations within the two. but those aren't a majority of humans.

    just because a mutation is a mutation doesn't mean it's bad. but it doesn't mean it's normal for humans either.
