Contraception ends the genetic maintenance of human same-sex sexual behavior

2023-03-09

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Because human same-sex sexual behavior (SSB) is heritable and leads to fewer offspring, it is puzzling why SSB-associated alleles have not been selectively purged. Current evidence supports the antagonistic pleiotropy hypothesis that SSB-associated alleles benefit individuals exclusively performing opposite-sex sexual behavior by increasing their number of sexual partners and consequently their...
