I call BS. Where's your evidence? Male humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and male animals have been around for millions. We still make up 50% of the population.
Yep.
The Y chromosome getting smaller is not evidence that we're moving to some sort of asexual means of reproduction. Doing it with technology is a different story.
I didn't say that we were going to become asexual, I'm just throwing out ideas here. The Y chromosome is shrinking and will eventually disappear in about 10 million years (according to what I've heard).
Maybe the sex a person takes will no longer be the result of an XY chromosome pair, but rather just a string of genes on an XX chromosome.
