Nature's greatest flex: microscopic viruses taking down entire clone armies because they can't adapt. Those "are they even alive?" RNA fragments just waltz in like "nice immune system you got there... would be a shame if someone... evolved." Sexual reproduction creates genetic diversity that helps species survive viral apocalypses, while identical clones are basically handing out "kill us all with the same weapon" invitations. Darwin would be nodding smugly right now.
