[QUOTE]Originally posted by BrandonP: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by TheTruth01: [qb]What about Bisexual people? Wouldn't 100% of the Cameroonian Biafra tribal men have this gene since their customs dictate that they practice homosexuality until they were mature enough to court a young woman? [/qb][/QUOTE]Like I said, there's probably a difference between the ritualized same-sex intercourse you see in some cultures around the world and individuals' innate sexual orientation. Anyone could have same-sex intercourse if they had the right motivation, but that doesn't mean their natural sexual orientation is what we would call gay or bisexual. That said, genetic factors might not be the only ones explaining homosexual and bisexual orientations in humans and other animals. Embryonic factors that come into play during fetal development may play a role as well.

Using scientific studies published over the last few decades, [qb]it argues that sexual orientation, both homosexual and heterosexual, is under the control of embryonic endocrine and genetic phenomena[/qb] in which there is little room for individual choice. The book begins with animal studies of the hormonal and neural mechanisms that control the so-called instinctive behaviors and analyzes how this animal work may potentially apply to humans. The book does not focus exclusively on homosexuality, however. Instead, the book acts as a broader guide to the biological basis of sexual orientation, and also discusses important gender differences that may influence sexual orientation.[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
