The Evolution of Gender: From Rocks to Humans

This article explores the evolution of gender from a scientific perspective, starting with the concept of gender in non-living objects like rocks and progressing to the differentiation of male and female organisms.

Gender in Non-Living Objects

⚛️Science can measure the size, color, and physical properties of a rock, but it cannot identify it as a rock.

⚛️Rocks do not have a gender, and the concept of male and female originated long after the existence of rocks.

⚛️The standard scientific explanation is that organic molecules in the sea eventually led to the formation of proto-organisms.

The Emergence of Male and Female Organisms

🔬The first bacteria were likely not male or female, but as they became more complex, they started to differentiate.

🔬At some point, there was a division where some bacteria had slightly different DNA, possibly indicating the emergence of males and females.

🔬Eventually, organisms like lizards developed different organs and chromosomes, clearly defining males and females.
