It is absurd. It makes no point. If our ancestors had evolved to all be gay (at some point in the past) we can't know what they would be like. Maybe we wouldn't have died out as a species. Maybe we'd have all become hermaphroditic and "men" and "men" and "women" and "women" would have been able to procreate- of course "male" and "female" wouldn't really mean anything any more because we would have moved beyond all that.... (I can imagine many 1000's of other possible outcomes, all leading to a better, more robust species, if only we were all a bit more gay...but, like your imaginings, mine prove nothing either).

Your past is exactly like a future would be. It is fantasy. Which is fine- but proves nothing. I can't imagine that you think it proves anything, or emphasizes anything, or makes any point whatsoever- except perhaps that you think heterosexuality is very good indeed, and homosexuality is maladaptive- and I already KNEW you thought that, I didn't need you to go making up an imaginary past to convince me of that.

I hope I said it nicely
