Fish and The Extended Phenotype

[ewurm]

I never watched my parents have sex when I was little, yet I figured out how later in life. Genetics wins this one.

In all honesty though, that's a really neat genetic theory. It's strange to think of our bodies as vehicles for genes.

It's really not all that strange. The earliest prokaryotic cells were not much more than replicating molecules enclosed in a membrane. In fact, there really is not a clear line between life and none-life. Many biologists don't consider viruses to be "life". Watch this TED talk on proto-cells.

So basically, if you isolated a male and female human being from the time of birth, they would know how to reproduce? Then why do they bother teaching sex education in health class? LOL!

They would figure it out pretty quick in most cases lol. It is in our genes like any other animal , we want to reproduce and pass on our own genetic code, you might not want to actually reproduce but your genes sure do, thats what that feeling actually is lol
