The Evolution of Sex Part I: Why Males?


Listen Later

In this episode we discuss sexual reproduction from an evolutionary perspective, with a lot of cool animal facts thrown in. We talk about the reasons that asexual reproduction seems like a much better choice than sex, hands-down. We also talk about why the existence of males makes so little sense (evolutionarily, not philosophically), and why sex is THE big problem for evolutionary biologists.
