Since the time of the dinosaurs, many females, including human females, have lived with a set number of eggs that can be fertilized during her lifetime. Males continue producing sperm throughout much of their lives. This is because it is the male's job to increase the species and if females produced as many eggs as males do sperm, there would be an overpopulation problem.
