Abstract

In our everyday experience, animals have two separate sexes. Some animals, and many plants, combine the two in a single individual but they still produce male and female gametes. This is such a basic generality that we become uneasy with the suggestion that there are many taxa (some of them mites, see Parthenogenesis) in which males are irrelevant (Fig. 5.1).
