What, scientifically speaking, is the point of men?
That's a question which science writer John Gribbin has been pondering. He points out that if women only had daughters and those daughters were capable of reproducing without males the human race would have grown at a much faster rate.
So why did we evolve to reproduce sexually? And as researchers in Australia claim that it may soon be possible for two women to have baby girls that are genetically their own, what are the consequences of making men reproductively redundant?
John Gribbin explains.
The Mating Game: In Search of the Meaning of Sex by John Gribbin and Jeremy Cherfas (Penguin Books, ISBN: 0 14 029475 9, 拢5.99).
