<<I just wish our species were a bit more selective...it is important to our Evolution...>> Nature selects and the species under consideration does not typically have an awareness of it. Care to speculate on the beneficial traits of the future. Right now geekism seems pretty successful.

Aha, I think you hit on it. The Y dropped the extra piece because it was an evolutionary step for Males. The extra piece on the female X counterpart is a vestigial remnant representing the the female lag in development. I knew there was a scientific explanation for your place being behind me, I figure this represents at least three paces. I have enough humility to accept my place in this...and you la la?

lorrie,

He he he...ha ha ha. You finally got the point.

You know why men are the way they are? It is
because *women* selected them to be this way.

Sorry to burst the bubble on ya sweetie...but that
is the truth. If you want more information I can
highly recommend the book "The Evolution of Sexual
Desire" by Buss. While he is trained as a psycologist,
he is riding the wave of evolutionary biology. Easy
reading, and very interesting.

Later,

-john
