In the words of historian Jennifer Terry, ‘homosexual men were imaged as embodyg the worst of both savag and women; while they were satiable their sexual pursus and ivololy emotnal, they lacked the mosty of bourgeois women and the primal strength of savage men’. I argue that when evolutnary blogists the twentieth century ed sexual selectn as a tool for theorizg the evolutn of homosexual behavur – which happened only rarely – the effect of their theori was to ntuoly rescribe normative heterosexualy.

A closer look at evolutnary theori of sexualy reveals how even the blogists who found homosexualy to be a good tool to thk wh (like altism) often assumed that homosexual preferenc should eventually go extct (Figure 1). Then, the fal s of the twentieth century, blogists sought to unrstand homosexualy as an inty associated wh only a mory of the populatn, bakg nservative notns of genr to explanatns of homosexualy as blogilly based, cludg a sexual divisn of labour, mental tras and sir.

Rather than dichotomizg humans to distct tegori of homo- and heterosexual dividuals, Ksey and his lleagu rated the range of sexual experienc om exclively heterosexual (0 on a slidg sle) to exclively homosexual (6), wh gradatns between. One of Ksey's -thors and a New York-based sex therapist, Warll Pomeroy eagerly argued the pag of Playboy that polygamy, masturbatn, homosexualy, mouth–genal stimulatn and face-to-face terurse topped his list of behavurs exhibed by non-human animals.

A few years earlier, primatologist Solly Zuckerman had wrten that he had observed homosexual teractns young and adult primat at a zoologil garn, where both male–male and female–female mountg behavur appeared to functn as regular signals of social domance.

Aga followg Ksey, Beach argued that if one were to simplify the range of possible behavurs to three tegori of inty – strictly heterosexual, strictly homosexual and bisexual – then the zoologil evince ‘might predict that bisexual human begs would outnumber the other two groups bed’.

Footnote 38 Self-nscly followg Ksey, Morris sought to make his behavural termology parable to Ksey's discsg human behavur – homosexual enunters, then, necsarily volved two dividuals of the same sex, only one of whom behaved a sex-verted fashn.

Many other human behavurs, of urse, fell to the same tegory and a few pag later he poted out that ‘[s]uch groups as monks, nuns, long-term spsters and bachelors and permanent homosexuals are all, a reproductive sense, aberrant. Footnote 40 He implied, through associatn wh the other cultural inti, that exclive homosexualy was, if not a liftyle choice, then the rult of social circumstanc rather than blogy, even though ocsnal sexual enunters between two mal uld be expected as a part of any dividual's lifetime sexual repertoire – he was silent on sex between femal.

A more radil gay liberatn movement followed – buildg on the succs of the homophile movements of earlier s – which activists succsfully fought for the crimalizatn of homosexual acts and an end to police harassment and other visible signs of cultural opprsn.

Footnote 50 Over the urse of the twentieth century, Amerin psychiatrists had ncentrated more tensely on ‘abnormal’ behavur rather than ‘normal’, as homosexualy self had been creasgly normalized cultural and scientific perceptns. The disaggregatn of ‘homosexualy’ om ‘transsexualy’ and genr variance took place both wh psychiatry and also among homophile and later gay rights activists, avouchg genr and sexualy as distct tegori of human experience.

Morris, The Naked Ape, stead referred to sgle-sex non-sexual groups as ‘unisexual’, to help distguish them om ‘homosexual’, and noted that ‘the important role they play the liv of adult mal reveals the persistence of the basic, anctral urg’. Footnote 55 When the termologil dt settled, ‘homosexual’ implied an dividual's preference for sexual enunters wh members of the same sex, while ‘homosocial’ referred to sgle-sex social environments whout any necsary reference to sexual activy, like an all-male boardg school.

This generatn of evolutnary theorists of human behavur fend all-male homosocial groups as fundamental to the origs of human socialy and telligence, but dog so reproblematized exclive homosexualy as a logil riddle need of a solutn. When we look at their rearch as a whole, a sexual divisn of labour be clear: petive heterosexual men hunted and preferentially socialized small, homosocial groups whose stcture dictated the social anizatn of the entire muny; women reproduced and occupied a heterogeneo domtic world filled wh other women, children of both sex and men returned om the hunt. Fox and Tiger fensively posned themselv and the naturalns of homosocial associatn between adult men agast both femists and Frdians (their labels), basg their rearch on an ostensibly universal grammar of behavur primat and humans.

Rell that psychoblogists had known about same-sex sexual behavur animalsFootnote 65 – as had at least some members of the non-science-readg public – and ed their rearch to argue that homosexualy was blogilly normal Pomeroy's statistil and phylogeic meangs of the word.

Footnote 71 Two terrelated claims proved to be major stickg pots among socblogy's crics: that homosexual behavurs uld be explaed through heterosexualy and that, bee homosexual enunters had been documented more equently male animals than femal, this monstrated more generally that men had higher sexual driv than women. Williams remarked his Sex and Evolutn (also published 1975) that homosexual behavurs male animals provid evince of the hyper-variabily of male sexualy parison to female sexualy, drawg on long tradns of assumg that mal exhib greater variabily than femal any number of tras.

More specifilly, Wilson argued that ‘the homosexual state self’, by which he meant that ten percent of the male populatn who sred a 6 on Ksey's sle, should rult ‘ferr geic fns’ bee the men would have fewer children than the remag 90 per cent of Amerin mal. Kallmann himself had been more circumspect, ncludg merely that the accumulated rearch ‘throws nsirable doubt upon the validy of purely psychodynamic theori of predomantly or exclively homosexual behavur patterns adulthood’. Haton's acunt of the evolutn of altism (another apparent nundm, where dividuals sacrifice their own potential reproductn for the survival and ntued health of their relativ), Wilson reasoned that selectn uld favour homosexualy through advantage nferred on relativ – the cumulative reproductive succs of niec and nephews, each of whom rried (on average) a quarter of the geic material of their parents’ siblgs, provid the evolutnary fns of the otherwise childls ultra-uncle.

Footnote 84 The thors aga emphasized the lack of evince for any of Wilson's hypoth – no rmatn existed on the reproductive rat of men who had sex wh other men, much ls the reproductive rat of men who intified as bisexual; on the geic basis of homosexualy; or on whether homosexuals act to crease the reproductive rat of their relativ.

The iologil polarizatn of arguments for the geic, evolutnary basis of human behavur helps acunt for the polics of evolutnary ias about homosexualy the late 1970s and early 1980s: claims that human behavurs were nstraed by blogil circumstance were nsired socially nservative, while arguments favour of environmentalist explanatns of behavur d as polilly left. Footnote 87 Socblogists proposed a number of other possibili as well: the much olr ia that homosexuals might be created as a rult of geics and social circumstanc at home, this time due to a phenomenon they lled ‘parental manipulatn’, and a theory that homosexualy might be a by-product of selectn for some other tra. Heterosexual men would be as likely as homosexual men to have sex most often wh strangers, to participate anonymo i public baths, and to stop off public rtrooms for five mut of fellat on the way home om work if women were terted the activi.
