I mean, yes. You don't read Neuroscience I guess. Governments do the same with self driving cars, can allowing limited experiments so they can encourage scientific and economic innovation.

>>unless there's a strong advantage for a species to reproduce asexually, it's likely not going to appear.

I was under the (perhaps wrong) impression that asexual reproduction predated sexual reproduction in the history of life (prokaryotes predating eukaryote?) so I always thought that organisms "lost" the trait of asexual reproduction somewhere down the line. Probably an assumption without basis.

>>perhaps in reality the lack of diversity in the resulting offspring would be negative to the species' survival.

Yes. I imagine the answer would be something like that, but the question of what is the exact reason still stands.

Like i said I haven't the foggiest idea of the subject matter but always liked to think and speculate about it. Origin and Nature of Life, Physical nature of consciousness and Neuroscience in general are all topics I find fascinating. If anybody know any popular science books they can recommend on any of these topics, it would be great.
