Personally, I think they have a default gene that kicks in with a third of the population...........kind of like homosexuality."

Which is a strong argument that homosexuality confers some sort of evolutionary advantage. Anytime you get frequencies as high as you do with homosexuality, there is some advantage.


Interesting observation. I've always suspected it had something to do with freeing up a portion of the population from birthing and raising children. They can devote all their energies to a career or a particular pursuit. That can lead to all kinds of new directions. It might explain why the gay community tends to be innovative and cutting edge. Your observation adds to that argument.
