ELI5: How Has Sexual Reproduction Beat Asexual Reproduction?
It seems to me that a gene that programs the organism to self replicate has a much better chance to proliferate than a gene that makes reproduction much more complicated and dangerous - i.e., requiring to find a mate, perform courtship behaviors, compete with others on mates, biological ornaments, etc.
Why is sexual reproduction so much better?
