The 'genetic filter' theory of the origin of sex and the function of the male confirmed: Nature journal paper published today
Today is published in the journal Nature, comprehensive confirmation of the theory of the origin of sex in dealing with mutational load through the 'genetic filter' or 'mutational cleansing' role of the male, as I've outlined in papers on my website (see below).
