Will evolution eventually cause humans to lose their reproductive organs?

Question

Eventually over billions and billions of years will humans (and other animals) eventually evolve to a stage where our reproductive organs will be retarded or of no more use to us causing them to malfunction and take away our ability to reproduce?

Answer 1

By natural selection, any organism that loses it's ability to produce at the species-wide level, will not make it as a species.

Only those that continue to reproduce will continue to evolve, by the very nature of reproduction, evolution, and genetics.

Answer 2

Evolution works by giving an advantage to organisms that are better able to reproduce.  So no, any mutation that removed the ability to reproduce would be removed from the gene pool rather quickly.  In one generation, actually.

We might evolve a different way of reproducing, but not lose the ability to reproduce altogether.

Answer 3

No.  Inability to reproduce would not be selected for and passed on.  How could it?  In order to pass a mutation on you need to be able to reproduce.

I get the feeling you don't really understand how evolution works.

Answer 4

No,

From an evolutionary perspective each organism's ability to reproduce is it's most important feature.  Every other evolutionary change which has occurred throughout the history of evolution has occurred because that particular trait had an effect on the organisms ability to reproduce.

Something with retarded reproductive capability will not have an advantage in producing offspring that will pass on it's genes.  Therefore such a creature would ultimately fail to succeed.

Answer 5

no it will not because humans need to reproduce and the species needs to be carried on!
