[QUOTE]Originally posted by Elmaestro: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [qb] [i]any genes that predispose people to homosexuality would rarely be passed on to future generations. Yet same-sex attraction is widespread in humans, array of genetic variations associated with same-sex behaviour would have eventually disappeared, unless it somehow helped people to survive or reproduce. the array of genetic variations associated with same-sex behaviour would have eventually disappeared, unless it somehow helped people to survive or reproduce..[/i] Interesting conclusion from a new study Zietsch, B. P. Nature Hum. Behav. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41562-021-01168-8 (2021). [/qb][/QUOTE]The genes that have a correlation are linked to other traits that might be random or key to survival.[URL=https://science.sciencemag.org/content/365/6456/eaat7693] however on an individual level[/URL] there hasn't been much evidence of a determining set of genes resulting in samesex preference. In the study I've linked the main genes discovered combined can account for upto 25% variation. yet less than 1% percent of samples have all of them. Nonetheless the issue is far from heritability of homosexuality. It's whether Africans were pansexual before European Christian colonization and settlement. To where we're talking about sociology and cultural practices. IDK, I thought that the presence of derogatory terms referring to homosexuals in Africa which predated pilgrimage would have sufficed in putting that notion to bed, but here we are lol. I'm learning here. [/QB][/QUOTE]
