Description of the WEU

So much energy spent to please these ladies! So many stratagems invented over the course of evolution to catch their eye! And all this to end up devoured like the suitor of the praying mantis? Sex, this great mystery of life. Many would say that sex is essential, but why strive for sexual reproduction when bacteria reproduce by simple cell division…? We will have 6 hours of CM and 14 hours of TD to elucidate this mystery and conclude whether or not “sex is worth it” in the context of the evolution of species.
