HOW DOES HOMOSEXUALITY PLAY INTO EVOLUTION?

Ugh. I don’t really want to go into this subject even though I do understand the issue. But ‘pubic service calls’.

So:

In general, all humans develop probabilistically, starting with genes, but later dependent upon the environment in the womb.

As such, humans are born within probabilistic limits that either cause miscarriage, or not – and not according to an optimum plan. In fact human adaptive variation requires variation between individuals.

As such, we are all of us a mixture of female and male sex organ development AND the LATER cognitive emotional (brain) development by the division of feminine empathizing and male systematizing traits.

So there is a developmental relation but not necessarily dependence upon the physical by the instinctual and personality traits.

At present (a) homosexuality tends to run in families (b) it tends to occur after the first child (c) there may or may not be some environmental trigger that impedes development (d) women(females) are sexually plastic and men less so.

So homosexuality is a birth (developmental) defect that isn’t severe enough to cause a miscarriage. The reason it doesn’t isn’t yet known, but is likely due to the late maturity of these cognitive and emotional processes vs the early development of the physical.

A study of the differences between early and late births – even by so much as days – provides some fascinating insight into late stage development of the brain, emotions, personality, and yes, even handedness.

It isn’t clear that in history – at least prior to agrarianism, that sex preference was relevant enough to reproduction to select against. It isn’t clear if it evolved during agrarianism. It isn’t clear if there is a viral, bacterial, chemical, immunological difference in modernity that is having some effect.

I suspect we will know in the next thirty years. All that’s preventing it now is the willingness to perform the research.

And I am fairly sure it will be detectable and possibly correctable in utero or post partum within the same period of time.

I hope this helps.
Cheers
