Humans are a pretty good design for a multi-cellular organism that uses energy as efficiently as possible to breed as much as possible.

Definitely not the most profitable venture for a robotics company though, unless they’re in the robot porn industry.




Aren't humans rather inefficient? Long gestation cycle with more complications than many other species. The offspring require long time to be self-reliant at any level. And time to puberty is also significant...

Seems like that even for breeding we could do lot better...


Yeah to be fair, any bacterium has us beat on fecundity and energy waste!
