Can anyone help me out with a query? I know that the swapping of
genetic material between organisms arose before the formation of
separate genders, but did separate genders come before hermaphrodites

would be greatly appreciated.

When evolution decided that mere random mutation and natural selection
wasn't providing enough variation in trial phenotypes, meosis was
added to increase prospects of variation in the progeny. A couple of
them had the same idea at the same time.
