I managed to get on the road at 2:15 am, make it to Winnipeg, find parking, get checked in, get my badge, figure out the Wi-Fi, and find the room for my 11:30 /#PemmiCon panel--The Disappearance of Man--with Julie Czerneda and Electra Hammond. Yay, me.

“The study, published today in the journal Nature, found that loss of the Y chromosome helps cancer cells evade the body's immune system. This common impact of the aging process in men results in aggressive bladder cancer, but somehow also renders the disease more vulnerable—and responsive—to a standard treatment called immune checkpoint inhibitors.”

Men are slowly losing their Y , but a new sex discovery in spiny rats brings hope for humanity

The imminent – evolutionarily speaking – disappearance of the human has elicited speculation about our future.

What if more than one new system evolves in different parts of the world?

A “war” of the could lead to the separation of new species

ScienceAlert - The Y Chromosome Is Slowly Vanishing. A New Sex Gene Could Be The Future of Men

"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."

Nice scientific hypothesis. Only a few million years, right?

I like to take nap now rather than worry. I have a few years left and humanity a little longer of course. Until people start nuking each other.

“Results showed that the level of differentiation within Polish population is quite low, but some differences were indicated. It was confirmed that the Polish population is characterized by a high degree of homogeneity, with only slight genetic differences being observed at the regional level.”
