I think I missed this last night. I forget that I have to refresh frequently.
Yes, all we can do is guess, BUT, I do think that there is something in here about mammals being homeothermic and viviparous. I might be wrong (and if any geologists and/or palaeontologists are present to correct me...
I think you would struggle to get the best genes in that scenario.
Right now, you have a female that requires a suitor to fight to the death/perform some dance/build a nest/buy her dinner and thereby proving his worth. Problem is that if there is another link in the chain, how do you know that...
Yes and that lets my mind go to a different topic altogether.
So our ancient ancestors are the synapsids, right? They showed up 300 million years ago, dominated the earth and then suffered huge losses during the Permian Extinction.
Those synapsids were obviously very reptile-like still, and...
I was thinking about the frogs too. I may be wrong here (or have the cat by the wrong tail) but don't they sort of like flip between genders? I.e. when there are too few males, a female might turn male.
If anybody can help us with species names, I would be much obliged.
yes for amphibians and...
I totally get you, my man. Oh, and I wasn't correcting, merely spitballing. I think I was replying to you as I was reasoning it out myself at the same time.
Also, regarding the "Western Civilization" points I made, I think I should amend it to "civilised society". Because yes, some eastern...
Yes. If I may add to this, there are pros and cons associated with the amount of genders involved.
The fewer the genders, the easier it is to reproduce, but you are limited to a smaller gene pool. The more genders there are, the more genetic information is available, but that comes at the cost...
Ooh boy. I think I am going to get an awful amount of backlash on this, but here we go.
Okay so to summarise the claim here: you get a male neurotype to go with the male parts and a female neurotype to go with the female parts. And then we have those people that may have a male brain with a...
