Comment: This study finds that, contrary to the current view that homosexuals were a constant fixture in all societies at all times, an analysis of 107 societies revealed the absence of homosexual behavior in some human groups. Notably, gays seem to only exist in stratified societies with social inequality. So that excludes them, presumably, from most prehistoric societies.
Acknowledging a genetic component, they propose the “hypergyny hypothesis” (i.e., the Hot Sister hypothesis), which explains how male homosexuality could have evolved despite the obvious reproductive costs. Essentially, it’s a tradeoff, an antagonistic gene that promotes homosexuality in the male while increasing fecundity in the female. So the reproductive costs of the male are offset by increasing fertility in the female (through increased femininity and attractiveness), providing an indirect advantage by increasing the probability of marrying into higher social classes.
So the homosexual male takes one for the team: he’s a darwinian zero while his hot sister goes on to spread their genes into the aristocracy.
There are so many levels of this study that are unpalatable to the current WWG mindset. If the study is correct, gayness is essentially an evolutionary tactic for gaming the system to allow social advancement in stratified societies. And how does this work? By making women more feminine and attractive to hetero male elite.
To the coalition of the fringes, social inequality is the ultimate sign of an unhealthy society. If gayness is a symptom of an unhealthy society, what would a healthy society look like? This study has the answer: non-stratified societies have no homosexuals. It doesn’t exactly match the narrative.
