Condition: Book is fine. Jacket is fine. First edition. For organisms, sex is not just a bother, it is downright dangerous. If not the harbinger of death, as it is for the century plant, the praying mantis, or the mouse Antechinus, sex hastens the journey to the grave for all of us. If the direct costs of energy and time don't get you, the parasites and infections elements that, like the AIDS virus, have seized this chance to transfer themselves will. In spite of the immense pleasure and satisfaction we derive from it, sex is not good for us. Nor is it meant to be, sex is for genes. Of course, all organisms must die. Being born, dying, and having offspring in between: this is the biological imperative. Reproducing is, after all, what organisms are about, genes invented organisms as a means for their own perpetuation. We will discover that, as far as the perpetuation of genes is concerned, sex is a good thing; cleansing the genome of life-stopping damages, purging deleterious mutations, perhaps even providing hopeful variations for new environments. Although organisms come and go, genes are forever. - from Eros and Evolution. 8vo. green paper covered boards with cream colored cloth spine. 241 pp.…

Paperback. Condition: Used: Acceptable. Paperback in good condition. From Publishers Weekly Why should sex exist at all, given the enormous time, energy and resources required to find and keep mates, the risks of infectious diseases and the millennia of nonsexual forms of reproduction that serve sponges, bacteria, viruses, some lizards, etc.? Unlike other scientists who tout the benefits of genetic diversity, Michod argues that sex evolved as an elaborate system to overcome and eliminate genetic errors-both damage and mutations-that threaten life. His discussion of the DNA mechanisms underlying these processes is sometimes technical, yet this elegantly written, thought-provoking narrative will intrigue nonspecialists and specialists alike. Professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona, Michod stresses that because of sexual reproduction, organisms are of fleeting existence, each born unique and soon to die, each a temporary repository of genetic information that is shaped by evolution. He also uses computer modeling to support his thesis that sexual reproduction helps explain the emergence of distinct species, a phenomenon that baffled Darwin. Illustrated.…
