Emerging insights into the genetics and evolution of human same-sex sexual behavior.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 May 2025

Felesina Thomas, Zietsch Brendan P

Abstract excerpt

Thanks to twin studies, it has been known for decades that human same-sex sexual behavior (SSB) has a substantial heritable component. However, only recently have large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) begun to illuminate the complex genetics involved. These studies have established that SSB is influenced by many common genetic variants, each with tiny but cumulative effects. The evolutionary explanation...
