(November 4, 2014 at 6:14 pm)Reader Wrote: Why do we only have two genders, male and female? [excluding asexual animal reproduction] ... just humans and almost all animals? Why only two? Why not ... say ... seven, or seven-thousand? If we have evolved over time from a single celled organism ... why did we only evolve into two genders and not more? Why did it stop at two? Thanks for your time.

It's easier to code for two genders than three or four, and the genetic recombination from two genders is sufficient to produce a broad array of varieties.
Also, you have a familiar style. Have you posted here or on other atheist forums before?
