The sex of human and other mammal babies is decided by a male-determining gene on the Y chromosome. But the human Y chromosome is degenerating and may disappear in a few million years, leading to our extinction unless we evolve a new sex gene.
Most mammals have an X and Y chromosome similar to ours; an X with lots of genes, and a Y with SRY plus a few others. This system comes with problems because of the unequal dosage of X genes in males and females.
How did such a weird system evolve? The surprising finding is that Australia's platypus has completely different sex chromosomes, more like those of birds.

Would be interesting to find out how long they think the human chromosome is degenerating. Perhaps it started degenerating about the time when the evils of white patriarchy and toxic masculinity were identified by Progressives.
Perhaps Progressives, due to their vastly superior intellects and scientific reasoning [which they only follow when it appears to support their political paradigms], will figure out how to put the platypus chromosomes in the human genome, and then we can all hatch from eggs. On a positive note, it would eliminate the need for abortion clinics... but we'd need to have new laws governing the eating of eggs. Now would be a good time to invest in incubators.

I thought the climate change nuts are only giving us ten-years or so left.
