The articles explanation for the origin of this super gene seems similarly complex. Relying on their being some previous version of ant that is not clonal is a step too far into speculation for me to consider that hypothesis too seriously. Or maybe I’m missing something? Maybe an entomologist would think differently!
- matt_kantor 3y agoI'm no entomologist, but I'm sure there was some previous version of these ants that was not clonal. The last common ancestor of all ants was not clonal.
