11 ANIMAL SPECI THAT PROVE BEG GAY IS NATURAL
*Note: We tentnally do not e terms such as “heterosexual” or “homosexual” to prevent any nflatn between human sexualy and nonhuman animal sexual behavrs. Homosexual behavr, which has been documented extensively non-human animals, has fascated rearchers for s as prents a paradox for evolutnary blogists. This review will analyze five key theori explaed by animal mols and three key human-based theori to monstrate that the prent strategy for unrstandg human homosexual behavr is flawed.
We see here exampl of homosexual behavr servg as an adaptatn: ls f femal that uld not acquire a male mate still have the chance to rema petive. Further, the homosexual behavr observed mal seems to lead to the formatn of “iendships” that were mataed for longer than half a year. In the exampl of Social Glue theory, sexual behavr (cludg but not limed to homosexual behavr) among members of a speci rults stronger social bonds.

If one male displays homosexual behavr and is not challenged by the other male, domance is rolved and aggrsn is unlikely to occur, but if both mal attempt to mount each other, the teractn may late to a physil ntt. The mate choice pyg strategy has been suggted as an explanatn for the prence of homosexual behavr between male ve-dwellg tooth rp (Tobler et al, 2005).
