re: #831 Dragonwolf

Will someone please correct me if I am wrong.

One of my frat brothers did a research paper on homosexuality. This was in the mid 80s. What research he found for the phenomenon in other species was that homosexuality tended to show up to a greater extent in a species when the population of that species had reached the balance point with the available resources in the area. Kind of an overreproduction safety valve.

Anyone else heard of this?

Yes, there are papers on that, haven’t read the latest ones, but back when I did there were apparent but not proven correlations between population pressure and increased homosexual behaviour. I believe Desmond Morris mentions it in one of his books as well.
