GlossaryReproduction

biological process creating new organisms from parent organisms

Reproduction is the biological process by which new individual organisms are produced from their parents. It can occur through sexual means, involving the combination of genetic material from two parents, or asexual means, where a single organism can produce offspring genetically identical to itself. This process is fundamental for the survival and continuation of species.

community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective

in Chat 213 upvotes 1 year ago

Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.

community My personal thoughts on DHT. belive it or not

in Research/Science 1 year ago

The conversation discusses a personal theory on the role of DHT in stress and reproduction, suggesting it converts testosterone for reproductive traits. The discussion includes skepticism and mentions individual differences in physiology and neurochemistry.

community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits

in Chat 138 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
