This is just warmed-over BS from the 1960s.

What he fantasized.
Why is it ‘fantasy’? He’s just reporting on research that appears to show a decline in the Y chromosome in males.
another article with an agenda. and a headline to get you excited.
https://www.sciencenews.org/article/new-dna-telomere-chromosomes-pangenome
Some males lose the Y chromosome from some of their cells. The loss puts them at risk for cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and other illnesses.
The “research” is a lie.
This is just warmed-over BS from the 1960s.
A few million years.... There will be a mass extinction event far before that which is a universal mulligan.
Genetic decay happens - it is linked to lots of diseases; and loss of chromosome Y usually takes place ‘naturally’ in men as they age anyway.
I don’t have a problem with the research; but I don’t know if it means we’ll ‘die out’. (I find it hard to believe that all that ‘repetitive’ or ‘junk’ DNA is just that.)
Maybe Creation isn’t finished with us yet.
Male and female will change to one another. Uh...
I personally think we may not have to wait that long.
The ball has already started down that humongous mountain.
I don’t think we have to worry about that.
Males and females who simply believe that they can ‘change into one another’ by ‘identifying’, lopping bits off, taking hormones, etc. - they are the ones who are just fantasizing.
But the idea that we may further evolve genetically over hundreds of thousands or millions of years is interesting speculation.
Those that do try changing, don’t lack support or encouragement.
Money makes the world go round.
‘Support and encouragement’ my reinforce and perpetuate someone’s delusion; but they can’t change the facts of life and laws of science.
A few million years???
Gloria Steinem can hardly wait... And in a million years she will still be defending Bill Clinton sexually abusing his 20 year old intern.
It’s a fairly straightforward equation. Due to harsh environmental conditions, species need more chromosomes to make them more adaptable. However, when starvation is an issue, species need fewer chromosomes to use less energy in cell reproduction.
However, there are any number of other variables that come into play.
However, it is reasonable to say that if the “Y” chromosome dies out, an “X” chromosome will step up to take its place.
Right.
Wonder how many have experienced the ‘I wish I hadn’t done that”
It could literally ruin you sex life or your life.
I think there are going to be massive lawsuits in coming years, especially from those whose lives were butchered this way when they were minors.
Yes, he’s at leading edge!
Yes I understand genetic decay. Pandas?
However I was more focused in on the MAY and the in a million years that turns this into a non item
In a million years, if we haven’t already died out or destroyed ourselves here, we might live on another planet and have adapted to that in ways we can’t imagine now.
I think it’s all interesting to think about; and speculation often leads to new avenues of useful research in the ‘now’.
(The ‘dreamers’ among us are often the ones who create and discover new things.)
The article states that 5 genes have been disappearing every million years, presumably an average. It suggests that the remaining 55 will be gone in 11 million years.
It is unlikely that such a decrease will continue in the future. It might accelerate, but is more likely to decelerate.
One example would be a process where X% of the genes disappear per time period.
Women cannot ejaculate through a penis, but boy can they ejaculate through a milk filled breast when the baby starts to cry. It can be hard to get the infant sucking the breast sometimes because the milk is squirting into its face as it approaches the breast. You can temporarily stop the squirting by pressing a finger on the nipple as you try to get the baby into the proper position to to nurse. If you are a male reading this, keep it in mind if you ever have a woman who is trying to breast feed your child.
