<title>Sex is here. Why?</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many theories but no good results to explain why it exists:-http://www.the-scientist.com//?articles.view/articleNo/40333/title/The-Sex-Paradox/-&amp;quot;In a static world, sex is likely unnecessary. The ever-changing environments of Earth call for a different scenario, however. Sex allows species to adapt to the loss of food sources, the arrival of parasites, rising temperatures, and more.&amp;#13;&amp;#10; &amp;#13;&amp;#10;&amp;quot;There is some doubt, however, whether the environment fluctuates fast enough to warrant the prevalence and persistence of sex in the eukaryotic kingdom. &amp;#147;Is the force favoring sex large enough in the face of the costs?&amp;#148; asks Otto. &amp;#147;The niggling doubt in the back of my head is that it is not.&amp;#148;&amp;#13;&amp;#10; &amp;#13;&amp;#10;&amp;quot;And so the paradox of sex lives on. &amp;#147;We still really don&amp;apos;t know the answer to this very most basic question,&amp;#148; says Mark Welch. &amp;#147;We don&amp;apos;t know why sex exists.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;</p>
