"Fi[r]st and biggest in my mind is why does this male shortage only happen to humans?"
Many SF (& fantasy) stories start with a single 'what if?' That is this story's one change: The human sex ratio is wildly skewed. The author doesn't choose to give a reason, and the characters in the story don't wonder about it because that's just the way things are. SF stories where the characters explain commonplace things to each other went out in the 1940s.
I bought A Brother's Price back in Fictionwise days. I thought it was great. Thanks for bringing it to other people's attention.
