Inbreeding will also be NOT a problem, because organisms created by parthenogenesis have only a single parent (mother), exact genetic clone of the original. Problem might be only adapting to changing external conditions (which sexual recombination of genes increases). Are not birds sapient enough? Enough for me. | |
| Feb 15, 2016 at 18:36 | comment | added | Damian Yerrick | @PeterMasiar What is missing from the examples is sapience. Unlike fish, amphibians, and reptiles, humans and other mammals have genomic imprinting, where only the copy from the mother or father is expressed. And wouldn't several generations of parthenogenesis lead to inbreeding depression? | |
