Секс с учеными: Половое размножение и другие загадки биологии

The greatest biologists of the past tried to understand why living organisms need sexual reproduction, how it originated, what benefits it brought, and why it did not disappear. From the book "Sex with Scientists," we learn that scientists attempted to... connect sex with the mutation process and as a result created a whole field of science — population genetics. Then the discussion moves to the separation into two sexes, where nothing can be understood without game theory. Readers encounter the characters of popular science — sex chromosomes, and engaging plots from molecular biology twist intriguingly. The narrative then shifts to meiosis, about which it has been extremely difficult until now to read anything comprehensible to non-specialists. In connection with this, the most important question of modern science is discussed — the origin of life on Earth. The narrative also pays tribute to the role of sex in societal life (which, it seems, has long been written about, but an extra couple of chapters won't hurt anyone).
