Y Chromosome's Decline: Can Males Survive Without It in the Distant Future?
The human Y chromosome, crucial for male development in the embryo, has been steadily losing its genes over millions of years. Currently, the chromosome is down to just 45 genes from an original count of 1438, with scientists estimating that it could disappear entirely within 11 million years. This genetic deterioration has raised concerns about th...

Loss Of Y Chromosome May Up Alzheimer's Risk: Study
Men with blood cells that do not carry the Y chromosome are at greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study that may lead to a simple test to diagnose the neurodegenerative disorder.

This Species Has No Men - And They're Better Off Because Of It
The ancient Greeks spoke of a mythological society composed entirely of warrior women. The medieval traveler John Mandeville wrote of a place whose female rulers "never would suffer man to dwell amongst them." "Paradise Island," home of Wonder Woman, was a feminist utopia where no one with a Y chromosome was allowed.
