Cloned Population Civilizations

Cloned population civilizations are one of the most unsettling models in alien-civilization theory: societies in which substantial portions of the population are genetically replicated rather than produced through ordinary sexual diversity. Drawing on the biology of cloning, natural asexual reproduction, vertebrate clonality, Brave New World-style social engineering, and modern reproductive genetics, the model explores what happens when population structure, identity, and power are reorganized around replication.
