Guys,
Read this. This is shocking.
The decay of the Y chromosome points to the extinction of men, but that wouldn't necessarily prevent sperm-free breeding, without the Y chromosome and without males

ILLUSTRATION: MOUNTAIN PEOPLE
It is no secret that men are basically genetically modified (GM) women -- the female being the fall-back developmental pathway for any fetus. The evolution of the two sexes could indeed be regarded as a long-running GM experiment.
Its legacy has been to endow men and women with different, and often conflicting, sets of genetic interests, and to ignite a powerful evolutionary struggle, which has accentuated the differences between the two sexes. In several respects, the experiment that gave us men is not going too well just now. Though it is a weary lament to lay most acts of violence and aggression, from the strictly local to the truly global, squarely at the feet of men, the association is strong, consistent and undeniable. Women very rarely commit violent crimes, become tyrants or start wars.
