Current hypotheses suggest that, while asexual reproduction may have short term benefits when rapid population growth is important or in stable environments, sexual reproduction offers a net advantage by allowing more rapid generation of genetic diversity, allowing adaptation to changing environments."Sharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772844993068486510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-31810600907916517502008-03-08T04:00:00.000-05:002008-03-08T04:00:00.000-05:00I suppose that would involve some form of asexual ...I suppose that would involve some form of <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexual_reproduction" REL="nofollow">asexual reproduction</A> slowly being refined over millions of years until the eventual advent of "nubs & hubs"...Sharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772844993068486510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-21102442781371434062008-03-07T15:06:00.000-05:002008-03-07T15:06:00.000-05:00I'm thinkin' that in the earliest stages, we were ...I'm thinkin' that in the earliest stages, we were probably a simple enough life form that your basic mitosis would probably be sufficient to keep the population going. After that, my answer becomes: the cloaca. I may have spelled that wrong, but it's basically a hermaphroditic gentila. Some frogs still have 'em, if I recall correctly.<BR/><BR/>So in the end, I'm sayin' we evolved from auto-erotic slime and hermaphrodites.kingmonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875604039242908927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-33373257629554252772008-03-07T08:17:00.000-05:002008-03-07T08:17:00.000-05:00I'm so sorry I can't help you with your "nub, hub ...I'm so sorry I can't help you with your "nub, hub and rub" question, but you've got me wondering - and laughing!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110235078325434919noreply@blogger.com
