Without It

What Civilization Would Look Like Without Sex

De: Michael Miller

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

What if sex simply disappeared from human reproduction tomorrow? Not as fantasy, but as a serious thought experiment grounded in real evolutionary biology, anthropology, and history. Without It traces the hidden scaffolding sex has built underneath nearly everything we call civilization — family, gender, marriage, religion, art, war, and the economy itself — and asks what would still be standing if that scaffolding were removed. Drawing on research into parthenogenetic lizards, despotic harems, monastic celibacy, and the cutting edge of artificial reproduction, this book is less a prediction than an x-ray: a way of finally seeing how much weight one biological mechanism has been asked to carry.
