TL;DR
This paper explores the evolutionary purpose of having two sexes through a cybernetic perspective, offering insights that remain relevant and insightful even decades after its original publication.
Contribution
It introduces a cybernetic framework to understand the evolutionary role of sexual dimorphism, providing a novel perspective on biological sex differentiation.
Findings
Highlights the cybernetic control mechanisms in sexual evolution
Proposes two sexes as a system for stability and adaptability
Offers ideas that remain relevant in modern evolutionary biology
Abstract
Evolutionary role of the separation into two sexes from a cyberneticist's point of view. [I translated this 1965 article from Russian "Nauka i Zhizn" (Science and Life) in 1988. In a popular form, the article puts forward several useful ideas not all of which even today are necessarily well known or widely accepted. Boris Lubachevsky, [email protected] ]
