1. Homosexuality in Human Populations is An Advantage
2.Populations evolve, not individuals.
3. Sexuality is an inherited trait, albiet a very polymorphic trait
We are a social animal. Our success for thousands of years hinged on our ability to hunt/gather and work together. It makes sense that humans are genetically wired for getting along with like sexed individuals.
Once you accept that homosexuality is a genetically inherited trait you can imagine countless advantages that would stem from having homosexual individuals in a population.Heres something ive been playing around with:
In some Plains Indian tribes, homosexual men were grouped with the women, and functioned as a kind of protector who was never encumbered with children. The presence of these gay men increased the fitness of future generations of tribesmen. This fitness stabilized the genetic equilibrium of the population and this allowed for the persistence of the trait.
