Possibility 1) You're a sport. (and so am I).

Possibility 2) Recessive gene for not wanting children gives heterozygote advantage.

Possibility 3) Recessive gene for not wanting children; Presence of non-breeding relations is pro-survival.

Possibility 4) Genes for other pro-survival traits linked to recessive non-breeding gene.

Possibility 5) Environmental change resulting in some gene variants formerly expressed as "wanting children" now expressed as "not wanting children".

(the list goes on)
