Y chromosomes disappearing - End of males population in next 10000 years
Published at: Aug 28, 2024 at 06:47 AM
A study has brought the light to the gradual Y chromosome shrinking, a key factor in determining male sex. This decrease asks questions about the future of male human reproduction. The implications of such a development is the possibility of a world where only female babies are born.
The decrease in Y Chromosome
The Y chromosome which is responsible for male development, has significantly reduced in size over the millions of years. This reduction has sparked discussions in the communities about the future of human sex determination. A research article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences emphasis that spiny rats have already developed some male-determining gene, which could direct a potential evolutionary path for humans.
The Future of Human beings Reproduction
The slowly disappearance of the Y chromosome could change human reproduction and lead to significant evolutionary developments. While it remains uncertain how this process will unfold, the implications for the future of our species are profound. Scientists continue to investigate these possibilities, recognizing that the disappearance of the Y chromosome could either lead to the evolution of new sex-determining systems or the emergence of e.
