IN THE closest thing to a human virgin birth that modern science has ever recorded, British geneticists last week described the remarkable case of a young boy whose body is derived in part from an unfertilised egg. The discovery has provided a rare glimpse into the control of human development and the evolutionary changes that made sex essential for mammalian reproduction.
Parthenogenesis - development of an unfertilised female sex cell without any male contribution - is a normal way of life for some plants, insects and even lizards. Sometimes, an unfertilised mammalian egg will begin dividing, but this growth usually does not get far. The self-activated "embryo" will create rudimentary bone and nerve, but there are some tissues, such as skeletal muscle, that it cannot make, preventing further development. Instead, it becomes a type of benign tumour called an ovarian teratoma.
Why mammals should have evolved these blocks to parthenogenesis ...
