How Sex Became A Thing

The video explores the prevalence and evolution of sexual reproduction in complex organisms. It discusses the time before sexual reproduction, focusing on asexual reproduction in bacteria and archaea. The emergence of the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor (LECA) marked a significant evolutionary step. Fossil evidence, such as funisia, provides insights into early sexual reproduction. The video compares sexual and asexual reproduction, highlighting the advantages of genetic variation and adaptation. It concludes with a call to explore further learning resources.
