The Evolution of Gender

Nice thoughts, I NEVER ever stopped to think about it and now that you made me do it (lol) it's mind boggling, it's as confusing as to ask who came first, the chicken or the egg. I don't believe in Adam and Eve as exactly it was portraited but I believe they symbolizes things that really happened. Who knows? Maybe the first beings had both sexes and developed to pairs, maybe they developed apart. Ever heard the theory that we evolved from genetic mutation by Extraterrestrial entities? . No one ever proved that, but it's another mind boggling thing, they support this theory on the written scripts craved in cray by the Summerians, it seems they said they were the first ones here and created us by changing our dna and mixing it with antient cave man or something.

There are also primitive species with only one gender or hermaphrodite species. Two genders improve the evolutionary process as I understand it. I also think that it's maybe something that occurs throughout nature: you have two charges (positive and negative), north and south pole of a magnet, motions going to the right or to the left, matter and anti-matter... then there's the key-hole principle (no pun intended ) and so on. It's often easier to use two directions to achieve one goal, a converging point, two things can easily meet and interact when they come from opposite directions. So I guess it's a law of nature to always prefer two opposite things to create something new. But as the creation of life isn't an easy process it started at a primitive level, e.g. with cell division and copying.

i wonder what you are trying to refer to. i am not an expert with regards to gender and any other stuff related to what you are trying to open up here. but i am a biologist, and i happened to know more of evolution. and here, in the evolution you are discussing is more of what is happening now. well, as darwin noted that evolution does not happen in a decade. but in many decades. as it is, in generation today, i might be agreeing with you bestboy. evolution in terms of gender is happening so fast. that every now and then, we feel their presence...

I think evolution theory does explain well about the existence on certain species of life on earth and did provide interesting direct link and evidence in its finding. Gender differences may well is the result of mutation in microscopic scale inside our reproductive system instead of is from a process of evolution over time. It doesn't just happen because it is the 'right' moment, it has something to do with our Genome.

Hi, In the beginning there was a man and a woman, male and female of all species being created, the only purpose is to perpetuate its kind or is there anything else to it? What about asexual reproduction? I think it is another way of doing it, only less exciting and colorful but equally if not superior way of reproducing living beings. And then there's the transgender, male who masquerade as females and vice versa. There, the confusion begins, it is all the same process, the same organs but totally different feelings. How could we evolve like this? Let me think for a little while, maybe there's something more to it.

I don't believed that it had stopped how ever as time has went on it has become more relevant that every one wanted to control and has nothing to do with repoduction
