Quote from this book "There are various levels of approach to the evolution of sexual behaviour, from that of all sexually reproducing organisms (including plants) to that of a particular species or sub-species. The problems of the latter cannot ignore the more general problems of sexual reproduction, in particular the problem of why there should be sexual reproduction at all. Theoretically, in any competitive situation, sexually reproducing organisms should lose in competition with asexual. Assuming the original situation to be asexual, it remains a constant theoretical problem how sexual reproduction can have arisen, since any favourable mutation in an asexually reproducing organism can be immediately and rapidly replicated, while its sexual competitor must dilute the next-generation effect through breeding. Even inbreeding will not help for sexual competitors, since it is bound to be slower than in the asexual, and also will produce lethal homozygotes." opening paragraph, chapter one Secondhand booksellers |
