Y bother: men are doomed after all

“Like the face of the moon, still pitted by all the craters from all the meteors that have ever fallen onto its surface, Y-chromosomes cannot heal their own scars. It is a dying chromosome and one day it will become extinct.”

According to Bryan Sykes’ estimates, males will cease to exist in about 125,000 years. I’m not sure how certain this prediction is (why haven’t other species’ males suffered the same fate?) or how relevant (I suspect either we’ll have hit the singularity or go extinct long before).
