It's given away free vs paying for that rag The Daily Mail?
Sometimes you *don't* get what you pay for.

They're also incredibly pro-trans as far as UK papers go - weekend editions have dozens of trans writers dominating the paper with militant pro-trans views. I've had numerous comments removed for pointing out flaws in the articles.
There's still a lot of good research/papers on the subject though
Heavy smoking causes loss of Y chromosome in men
The study shows heavy smokers lost their Y chromosome but it reappeared after they quit or reduced smoking - I have no idea how or why this happens though. I think there needs to be a lot more research in the area as current research hints theh Y chromosome plays a huge role in reducing cander risks.

...not only outside of, but directly contrary to every theory of evolution.
I see no contradiction. But you are right that this disappearing-Y-chromosome business is old news.
It means that you don't get millions of years for lifeforms to evolve, because they degrade towards reproductive inviability in a fraction of the time.
It doesn't mean that evolution doesn't happen, it does mean that it has to happen faster than usually proposed, and we need to adjust the theoretical frameworks to accommodate degeneration.
The Cambrian explosion is one such time where the rates of morphological and genetic evolution were much higher in comparison to other eras including out own era.
This isn't new information.

Interesting article. Go to the link to read what is happening to the Y Chromosome. No time frame is given for when the Y Chromosome in humans will disappear - anywhere from a few thousand years to never. But it is shrinking and that has consequences.
Y Chromosome Vanishing
We were all taught that the X and Y genes determine sex. Women have a pair of XX chromosomes, and men XY. But what you might not have been taught is that the Y chromosome is much smaller, carrying around 55 genes compared to roughly 900 on the X.
All embryos are technically female until around 12 weeks, when a gene on the Y chromosome kicks in and male development starts (hence why men have nipples). However, it seems the Y chromosome wasn’t always so small – and that’s where the problem lies. It’s shrinking – and some scientists worry it could disappear altogether.
That explains the gen z males and male Swifties, most are probably vegans and steer clear of real meat too.

We can see evidence that during the Cambrian explosion, there was an apparent rise in diversity of species, but most evolutionary theories have no explanation why that period was different to others in terms of rate of speciation.
The issue is that gradualism is a baked-in component of evolutionary theories, but there are too many evidences of things not being gradual.
If there is stuff that a proposed model doesn't explain, then we should modify the model, extending theory with new complementary models that encompass the deficiencies in the original model, or, sometimes we have to discard the old model but only if a better, more explicatory one is proposed (i.e: you don't 'throw the baby out with the bathwater').

The rate at which organisms evolve isn't constant. This is well known and recorded in the Cambrian explosion. It's a misconception to assume 'constant rates' of evolution.

Why it happened is not really a mystery and organisms will react to different environmental conditions like for example more oxygen in the atmosphere
and more food in the form of nutrients that eroded from continental rocks and ended up in the oceans.
