The discussion centers on the evolutionary advantages of having two sexes in nature, emphasizing that two sexes enhance adaptability and genetic diversity compared to asexual reproduction. Participants argue that while additional sexes may complicate reproduction, the binary system allows for efficient gene swapping and natural selection. The cost of sexual reproduction is acknowledged, yet it is deemed beneficial for species survival and adaptation in changing environments. The conversation also touches on the implications of hermaphroditism and the evolutionary significance of sexual dimorphism.

Asexual reproduction IIRC, as described during my biology lectures [zz)] will not produce the same level of genetic diversity as sexual reproduction.
IOW: I am not talking about asexual reproduction.I'll say this a few more times, because no one seems to have caught onto it yet: You don't need to have two sexes in order for meiosis => recombination to occur.
Sexual reproduction can be done without need of two exclusive sexes. Why are 2 sexes so predominant?
That isn't necessarily trueFor a start you may need a more complicated genetic structure
