    It’s weird, but it makes sense as a last ditch effort to bridge a population bottleneck. Just because we haven’t witnessed something doesn’t make it impossible.

      I don’t mean to suggest it’s impossible. Clearly it is possible to artificially induce parthenogenesis in mammals because it has been done, although the offspring have not been healthy so far.
