No sex for 40 million years!

Recommended Posts

Other researchers had shown the translucent, waterborne creatures could survive for 40 million years without sexual relations.

The question, Tunnacliffe said, was how the creatures found in pools of water accomplished this feat without the gene-swapping made possible by sexual reproduction.

"Sexual reproduction is supposed to be a good thing in evolution," he said on Thursday.

"So when you come across an organism like the bdelloid, which hasn't engaged in sexual reproduction for tens of millions of years, you begin to question why sex is important."



-Dude obviously isn't getting laid. :|
