Sexual reproduction creates variaty that asexual reproduction cannot provide. If we were all asexual, that means that there are very little variaty(the little part is caused by mutation) and that we would all look alike and be alike. The problem with this is that if a disease spreads in the population that is lethal to one person, then it will be lethal to everyone in that population(unless there was a mutation). Our being able to reproduce sexually has made it easy to not die by a disease that might be lethal to one person.
