Gender sociality
As this planet’s human population expands to engulf all landmass, human social structure is going to be required to evolve into another form. The human expansion is very similar to a yeast culture in that it consumes all available food, and in the process, gradually poisons itself with its own excrement.
There are many alternative natural models that can be used, and if any large, successful organism population can be studied with an eye as to what its success consist of, and whether this fits within the range of human social norms, then the human mammal might be able to avoid extinction.
Following the social patterns of lemmings, or of a swarm of locusts, while posessing many facets identical to human sociality, would not be favorable for obvious reasons. There are other social structures that allow for sustained growth with sustained supply. avoiding the excremental phase of human social development. I would suggest that a more favorable model exists within the beehive.
The human tendency to prefer male offspring before female that results in population imbalances can translate in to the drone segments of hive society. The female continues to do most of the work and the male will experience a corresponding drop in status until the social preference for males will become a preference for females.
Male population will diminish as a result. OR the females will all become queens and the majority of males will lose the ability and even the desire to reproduce, thereby forming a neutral-gender third sex.
I would call these creatures femans.
