“Sexual reproduction first appeared on earth over 1.2 billion years ago, and was the catalyst for a vast array of species that colonised the natural world and led ultimately to us. Its fundamental principle is based on randomness... We are all products of reproduction, and hence all beneficiaries of the randomness of nature.”
