Shark Mother Going it Alone

There’s an interesting bit of news on Yahoo Science.  A female shark has given birth to a baby without any DNA contribution from a male.

The scientists expressed surprise over their findings, but really, who would want to cuddle up and smootchy smootchy with a shark if she had any choice?

    This isn’t that rare. I know in humans, for instance, there is one known case.

    Weird. Can you point me to an article/info on that? I’d be curious to read the story… :)
