 Dear Judith,
I wrote:
I ask the question: what indications may we find for the change from
prokaryotik unisex mitosis to eukaryotik bisexual? Do not refer please to
the benefits of diversity-production: that would be teleological in the
'higher' design of good old god.
------------------------------
I am sorry, but I see no such thing as a "notion of ...allowing
...diversity"
I did not ask about the obvious beneficial notion of bisex.

 - I definitely asked for INDICATIONS..FOR the change. Origination, HOW it
came about, the answer to a "why".
If the expectable outcome is the indication for originating something, and
the 'why' is answered by an "in order to" then it IS teleological.
