text: 'Sex and recombination are among the most striking features of the living
world, and they play a crucial role in allowing the evolution of complex adaptation.
The sharing of genomes through the sexual union of different individuals requires
elaborate behavioral and physiological adaptations. At the molecular level, the
alignment of two DNA double helices, followed by their precise cutting and rejoining,
is an extraordinary feat. Sex and recombination have diverse—and often surprising—evolutionary
consequences: distinct sexes, elaborate mating displays, selfish genetic elements,
and so on.'
