Great article!

I have some sort of weird issue with them calling parthenogenesis a "virgin birth." It gives the feeling that the value of virginity is universal thing even in nature. Maybe it's for the draw factor of the phrase "virgin birth." I suppose most people would just skim over it if they said that some sharks are able to asexually reproduce.

Whatever, it's cool anyway.

excellent point.

You do have an interesting point -- I woulda skipped if it said "parthenogenesis", but for some reason "virgin birth" and the bits outside the cut made me read this one.

I'd be the other way around.
