The Origin of Sexual Reproduction

Trula Earthgarden 

Very important read in today’s times with people attempting to say biological sex does not exist and/or that people are not a sexually dimorphic species: Origins of Two Sexes

“Because male and female are fundamentally defined by the gametes they produce, understanding the origins of the two sexes means understanding why gametes come in two different sizes—many small motile ones (sperm) and few large sessile ones (eggs). Thus, we must trace the sexes all the way back to the origins of gametes—the primary biological vehicles through which sexual reproduction takes place.”

“Sexual reproduction is the mixing of genomes and the fusion of gametes, a process which forms a new genetically unique individual. It first arrived on the scene around two billion years ago with single-celled eukaryotic organisms. Despite heavy evolutionary costs, the stronger evolutionary advantages from sexual reproduction made it near universal among eukaryotes, with now more than 99.9% of named animal species reproducing sexually.” https://theparadoxinstitute.com/blog/2021/04/04/origins-of-two-sexes/?fbclid=IwAR3FsW0qs8LQ2GoUpD1kNQSApkrhOVSwHFNG95BxriGULifqLdESV4Tc3Fo

Perimenopause – Flash & Burn Indeed

Pretty interesting article on perimenopause from Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/of-interest/2024/11/12/perimenopause-moment/ It is absolutely a horrible time. The whole entirety of a woman’s life is GRUELING, the only time we have free of our biology is childhood pre-periods. After menstruation begins it’s a wrap. And to add insult to injury we now live in a time where […]
