Genderless Society

+0
−0

Suppose we have a group of organisms (I am not sure if its a society).

These organisms are characterised by their ability to reproduce within themselves. That is, every member of this society can reproduce within itself. The new offspring is born by the organism's sole effort. There is no male or female or any gender differentiation and the idea itself is nonexistent in this group.

Would there be any emotions in this society/group, especially empathy supposing that it survives?

Also will this group be more superior to us? For the time being let's just say technologically superior.

Update This group (it is not right to call it a society, we still don't know) doesn't suddenly stop reproducing sexually, they just are that way from inception. My question is more centred on the origin of emotions in this group, not their survival given a change.
