BTW, what does it mean, "dominant model of reproduction?" Does it mean that the "dominant" species is a super species? So, since mammals are "dominant" on our world, the dominant model of reproduction is sexual? Even though you could argue that there are many more super-species *individuals* on our planet then mammals.

- the way I read it, evolution (if you believe in it) has meant most land animals share a similar means of reproducing their species, since most are descended from the same lobe-finned fish. Hence, mammals, birds, lizards and what have you reproduce themselves by way of with internal fertilisation, etc. If you go further, there is a male-female bias to nature - all animal species have males and females, since they descended from the same organism which just so happened to have males and females. Hence "dominant model".
...and plants are just peculiar.
I still think the little teenytiny lower body of the steef is out-of-proportion, but hey.
