This would make Eve homozygous at every locus on the X chromosome. Most
interesting. In that world there was no hemophilia or various sorts of
color-blindness, and so on.
But after the Fall: this is one more thing that becomes corrupt, just as
the nasty uncomfortable seasons originated when God got so mad that he
tilted the axis. (Not the Axis -- that was Churchill.)
I'm not convinced that the Earth would have been a nicer place without the
