There was recently some discussion on this listserve of whether
evolutionary theory had much to say concerning the origin of sex. For
those interested in this question, the September 25 issue of Science was
devoted to the theme of the evolution of sex. Among the review articles in
that issue were the following:

Why sex and recombination?
The evolutionary dynamics of sex
Evolution of gamete recognition proteins
Sexual selection, receiver biases, and the evolution of sex differences
