Asexual reproduction

This topic deserves it's own thread.

You say that humans will never be able to self-reproduce. I disagree based on the fact that other forms of life are currently able to. Almost all plants, all jellyfish, some organisms and some breeds of fish, birds and even a rare breed of shark can do it... why can't we?

Why do you think it is impossible for humans to do so over time?

WarChild · 04-30-2009, 01:38 PM

Ugh bad timing, I'm just running out to the gym and then I have BJJ so I won't really be around until much later.

In short, I think it's _possible_ that human beings (Homosapiens) may one day end up being an ancestor to some sort of asexual species but as for Homosapiens macro evolving to being asexually reproductive, not very likely. Our genetic make up is taken half from the mother and half from the father. If one person could all by themselves reproduce, it'd be nothing more than cloning really.

Farang · 04-30-2009, 01:41 PM

This should be interesting.

candyflip · 04-30-2009, 01:43 PM

Not impossible, but irrelevant today as it would be hundreds of thousands if not millions of years.

Pleasurepays · 04-30-2009, 01:46 PM

it wouldn't just be a question of physiology, it would be question of a substantial change in our psychological makeup

hjnet · 04-30-2009, 01:49 PM

Why? Would be quite boring, wouldn't it?

Darkland · 04-30-2009, 01:51 PM

Oh no... Women already think they don't need us, but... but... What if it became true?

All kidding aside, I read an article a long time ago that animals in confinement without a sexual partner somehow switched to asexual reproduction.

BradM · 04-30-2009, 01:51 PM

Unless there is a drastic change in humanity whereby we need to critically adapt to those new conditions by asexually reproducing... that would be millions of years away at best.

(2,000 years in biblical times)

Twistys Tim · 04-30-2009, 02:03 PM

Female Komodo Dragons can reproduce without a male being present. The can produce a clutch of eggs that produces only male off spring, that they in-turn mate with to produce more females.

I think it is called parthenogenesis. But reptiles have a different chromosomal system to mamals.

DrChango · 04-30-2009, 02:07 PM

asexual reproduction in more complex organisms limits genetic diversity within that species, and slows adaptation

besides, sex is more fun than knitting

Exactly. But it's done because it has to be done that way and it took a long time in order for them to do it I'm sure.

Oh, it would be thousands or millions of years no doubt.

Yes, some can change out of survival. It's unreal if you think about it, but it does happen, and that is the point.

Agreed. But possible over time I believe.

It is possible. Other life forms already do it. It would be relevant when the time came for it to be relevant.

It has with other life forms. I don't see why we couldn't do it. Sure, it's beyond anything that makes sense to any of us at this time BUT if you believe in evolution, the thought that we once lived in the water and were just an organism is equally if not more absurd of a thought. Yet is is accepted as fact if you believe in that theory.

Be it cloning or not, it would be what it would be.

So with that said, it has to start somewhere. That doesn't mean that it will survive time and end up being the next form of homosapiens, but it may try even if it fails. There has to be a point in time where it starts, a rough draft takes form, the fish crawls out of the water so to speak and onto land for the first time. I believe this first step is happening right now. A VERY crude and rough draft indeed but the first steps none the less.

That is one form of it. Parthenogenesis can happen sometimes in turkeys and a few breeds of sharks.

So it's happening right now. Scientist have even said that a male (human) could carry a child to full term based on his internal makeup but obviously he can not get pregnant.

marketsmart · 04-30-2009, 03:16 PM

human beings will be gone long before the time needed for us to evolve to asexual reproduction..

Where would they carry the child without a uterus?

Whats BJJ? Is that the same thing as BBBJ?

I don't know, I've been looking for the news clip since I posted about it.

Not sure how they figured it out but they said a man could carry to full term and then have the baby taken out c-section.

Creeps me out to think about it.

yeah my uterus is currently occupied, and its making everything else in there all smashed up and it sucks really, really bad. The acid reflux is out of this world.

a pouch on the outside while sounds gross would be easier I think. There should be some way to grow these things in a tank, to full term.

CrkMStanz · 04-30-2009, 05:47 PM

if we reached that stage ...

would all adult websites be masturbation sites?

would penis enhancement pills/devices become obsolete?

would there be breasts involved somehow?

which would survive? dildos , fleshlights , neither?

would there even be pleasure associated with the 'act' (whatever that might evolve to be)

would there even be an 'adult' industry?

just thinkin' .....

Actually, that would probably work. It works for marsupials.

Of course he can!

You've never heard about Gods wife or piece of ass have you? So if Jesus is Gods son, how do you suppose he was created without the help of a woman? God asexually reproduced!!! Can I get an hallelujah?

Further more, if he can create and destroy all there is, was or ever will be in the universe, is all knowing and all powerful yet can't asexually reproduce... he's a sorry excuse for a God.

This thread can be closed now that we've established that God, the creator and destroyer of the universe and man, can asexually reproduce.

I still want to know what a BJJ is. Warchild always likes to stalk me in all my threads so I thought I would return the favor so he can see how HE likes it.

It's a whole room full of sweaty men in pajamas rolling around on the floor together.

Wanna play BJJ with me?
