Henry Thornton - SMERSH: A discussion of economic, social and political issues HOMOSEXUALITY - A SURVIVAL ADVANTAGE FOR EARLY MAN? Date 04/12/2004
Member rating 4/5
Homosexuality occurs in all human races and has been present since recorded history. It is probable that it has been present since the early millennia of human evolution and in hominid mspecies before man. Homosexuality would have promoted bonding between males of the same family group rather than competition leading to elimination of weaker male members. Rather than hunting as individuals, males worked as a team, greatly enhancing the group's hunting prospects.

Homosexuality would also have facilitated greater separation of the sexes and would have encouraged bands of males to range further afield from an established base, again improving hunting prospects and leading to greater tribal dispersion. The individual with the behavioral anomaly may be doomed to genetic oblivion but the tribal group of which he was a member had improved survival prospects.
