Since women or feamales have a longer lifespan than men and in some ways are more Intelligent. Would it be possible to find places or Planets in Space made of Entirely of women who have survived longer than all the men? Ps. I know this sounds like something from a Sci-fi knovel but please just try and give me a good answer. Thank you.

Let me remind you that these women are searching Planets for males or have already come up with ways to preserve male sperm effectively. thus they are still alive.

Even if they were to give birth to males there would still be problems with in-breeding and having to wait untill the male can reproduce.

I assume you are talking about a world that reproduces by cloning. I doubt that such a place would exist.

I doubt you will find a planet of women. Life forms come in three flavors. Those which reproduce by dividing such as bacteria. Those which have male and female members of their species, such as mammals, birds, most reptiles, and some plants, and those who are hermaphrodites, such as snails and some other types of plants.
Some species of amphibians (and fish?) can change their sex.

Snails, though play the male and female part in reproduction, need other snails to aid in the process. A snail cannot fertilize it's own eggs as far as I know.

There are some species, for example, a type of lizard which escapes me right now, who posess male and female reproductive parts, and do fertilize their own eggs. They need to sexually interact with another lizard to stimulate this process, however. These lizards essentially clone themselves (ever see Enemy Mine?) which kind of puts them at an evolutionary dead end.

I think it's very likely that any planet with abundant life, well established life, would have a similar sex based makeup as Earth.
In humans, men are here to stay. While

While women may have slightly longer lifespans, the ratio of the population m:f has remained roughly 50:50. However, there are cultural phenomenons (not biological) that could cause something like that to happen, such as the slaughtering of baby girls in China. Were that to happen, the race would of course go extinct after the current population died.

Men and women only have life expectancies a few years apart, say, 73 vs 70

Secondly, women stop reproducing by the time they are 40 (mostly).

men live less time not because of inherent health or intelligence issues, but because men participate in health averse activities.

They are soldiers, are victims of murder more, work in higher risk occupations like mining and police work and firefighting. and in North America they smoke more, drink more and drive more.

As women become "more equal" they will become more like the stupid men they emulate and start dying sooner too. it has already begun with more women smoking than ever before.

And by the way, humans are only present on ONE planet at this time.

Probably not, as long as you assume that the species on that hypothetical planet reproduce in a manner similar to life on earth -- sexual reproduction. I would assume that the replacement rates for males would adjust (either naturally or artificially) to ensure enough males in the population to continue reproduction.

However, if the race on the planet in question has completely forgone sexual reproduction, and has gone completely to eugenics and cloning or artificial reproduction, where genetic material from two females were mixed to form the new fetus, males could possibly completely die out.

Although, since the male determines sex (X or Y chromosome) in humans, and we're assuming that this would be representative of life on other worlds (as it is on earth), it is problematic to know just what would result from the union of two female genetic packages to form the new life . . . .

Interesting question.

i don't comprehend if this solutions the question yet permit me permit you comprehend a great actuality. this could be a genuine tale. there grew to become into as quickly as an evolutionary scientist named bathroom (thats his final call). He probable nevertheless lives at present. He grew to become right into a professor in a school and grew to become into an atheist instructor that taught evolution. He grew to become into additionally an archaeologist. in spite of the shown fact that sometime he got here across extensive footprints. He additionally got here across the remains of mosquitoes and cockroaches that data and calculations advised have been over a million foot long! He did not comprehend the thank you to describe those issues so he hid away the data. Then, sometime he examine interior the Bible that suggested, "And there have been giants in those days." Being confident by using that and different issues, he became Christian and is now attempting to undue each and every thing he taught in that college. He has revealed his findings to boot. What a blessed subject certainly!!! God bless.

Interesting question. I don't know the answer, but I DO know that if such a planet is discovered then I would like to be the first man to move there. It would be like that scene in "The Quest for the Holy Grail" only on a much larger scale.

NO.
The women will still die
but not before having a few kids.
Some of which will be boys.
just means more girls for the same guys.
and guys can make lots of kids in one day.
women, can only make 5 at the most in one year.
So there always has to be more women per guy, or all the women will get stuck up thinking us guys will need them and nobody will get laid,,,,no kids,,, the end of humanity

Sure... but the women would be extinct a few years later.

If the species could reproduce asexually, then there may not be genders, as such.

Very interesting question. If you find such a place you will die sad. There is more to the chromosome Y than just our genitals and our behaviour. Think about it, who will sing to you? who would feel your delicate aroma? who will admire the beauty in your eyes? who will help you raise your children? who will protect you from the perils of your hypothetical planet? who will touch you and make you feel loved? who will feel alive just by contemplating your beautiful smile?
