It was a mathematical argument for, as it says, the role of sex in evolution, an extension of some informal theoretical work by Crow and Kimura &quot; who suggested briefly, based on intuition, that sex favored &quot;good mixers&quot;&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Our results may help to bridge between sex theory and modularity theory (four citations, half by G Wagner)&quot;</div>
