CAN MONKEYS BE GAY? WHAT HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVR PRIMAT CAN TELL US ABOUT THE EVOLUTN OF HUMAN SEXUALY

Homosexual behavur appears to be wispread among male maque monkeys the wild and the tra may be at least partially passed down gen om father to son. Savolaen has often qutned a popular belief known as the “Darwian paradox of homosexualy”, which impli that bee homosexual behavur don’t lead to reproductn, has no benef and any gen that promote should be elimated by natural selectn. To vtigate homosexualy other primat, Savolaen and his lleagu cid to study a lony of 1700 wild rh maqu (Ma mulatta) on the Puerto Rin island of Cayo Santiago.

“I am hopeful that we really are startg to move away om the antiquated ia that [homosexualy] animals is an evolutnary paradox or aberratn.

MAQUE MONKEYS FREQUENTLY HAVE GAY SEX

It is important to note that the same-sex soc-sexual behavr observed the study is distct om homosexual behavr bee s motivatn and purpose are social, said Jean-Baptiste Le, who studi primate behavr at the Universy of Lethbridge Canada and was not volved the new rearch. To be classified as te homosexual behavr, the form, motivatn and functn would all have to be sexual nature, he said.

Those that voice opposn to acceptance of homosexualy on relig grounds often nsir homosexualy to be “unnatural. ” However, homosexual behavr is wispread across the animal kgdom.

Recent observatns of homosexual behavr male spir monkeys adds to our knowledge of the behavrs and may help answer qutns about the evolutnary functns homosexual behavrs may play, as well as allow to nsir if other animals have sexual orientatns siar to the inti that humans nstct. From April-December 2014, Lra Bia and lleagu observed three separate stanc of homosexual behavr between male spir monkeys. Although is difficult to draw nclns om such few observatns, Bia and lleagu nsir how the behavrs f wh two petg hypoth for homosexual behavr: the 1) regulatn of social relatnships hypothis and 2) the tensn-regulatn hypothis.

Such hypoth, rived om rearch on baboons and bonobos, suggt that homosexual behavrs may eher be a means of strengtheng allianc or fg a tense suatn.

GAY MEN ARE LG UP AS EARLY AS 2 A.M. FOR MONKEYPOX VACC. MANY LEAVE EMPTY-HAND

Do this mean TU is gay or bisexual? Nohels, is possible that other animals vary their sire for homosexual vers heterosexual behavrs and partners. Most studi of homosexual behavr animals suggt that is a flexible rponse to social or mographic ndns, rather than emergg om dividual orientatns.

All the speci, however, may be assigned to one of six major groupgs or superfai of the Orr Primat: the lemurs of Madagasr (Lemuroia), the galagos and loris of Ai and Asia (Lorisoia), the tarsiers of SE Asia (Tarsia), New World monkeys (Ceboia), Old World monkeys (Cerpheia) and the ap and humans (Homoia).

Gee Gaylord Simpson (1945) divid the Orr Primat to two suborrs: the Prosimii (lemurs, loris, galagos and tarsiers) and the Anthropoia (monkeys, ap and humans).
