Scientist calls gay people 'pinnacle of evolution'

At a time when religious and conservative right-wing groups are attempting to dismiss homosexuality as "unnatural," a leading zoologist has said gay people could be seen as the "pinnacle of evolution."

Speaking at the Edinburgh Book Festival, Clive Bromhall said that humankind's evolution has resulted in our present state of "infantilism," in which we break the primate mold by being playful, creative and childlike right into adulthood.

"From men's obsession with swollen breasts to our constant search for a pseudoparental God, everything about the human species is infantile," Bromhall said in a lecture.

"Like baby chimps, we have soft, downy bodies, flat faces and large, rounded heads. Like them, we too want to be kissed, cuddled and stroked; we remain playful, compliant and comparatively mild-mannered for the whole of our lives," he added.

Bromhall claims that infantilism is rejected by straight people as they age -- and that by remaining in same-sex relationships, gay men and women are actually displaying superiority over their peers.

"We've known for years that homosexuality is linked to a playful, creative character," he said.

"Homosexuals excel as artists, thespians and other playful, mimetic professions. Being playful is at the heart of being human. It's something that should be celebrated. You could say that homosexuals are at the pinnacle of human evolution."

Bromhall was speaking to promote his new book "The Eternal Child" at the festival.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

[mhking]

Reword the headline: "SCIENTIST IS ON DRUGS."

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[LiteKeeper]

INTREP - I refuse to say more out of deference to the ladies in the audience!

Bromhall: "You could say that homosexuals are at the pinnacle of human evolution."

This guy is whacked. One question for him: Since the main reason for animals having a sex drive is to reproduce themselves and carry on the species, how do you propose the homos will carry on if they can't reproduce?

Laz, I think your one word assessment of Broomhole is dead on.

[PISANO]

Isn't it amazing to think that the PINNACLES of evolution will produce NO offspring. (Naturally speaking of course)

[mewzilla]

Hmmmm, an evolutionary pinnacle that doesn't reproduce. That's going to take some figgering out.

[Consort]

We did this one.

pinnacle of human evolution

'Pinnicle'? That's the top, right? Just before it all goes down hill?

a leading zoologist has said gay people could be seen as the "pinnacle of evolution."

If that ain't a kick in the head - that a subgroup within a species that engages in purely non-reproductive sexual activity is somehow the pinnacle of evolution, when that means they will NOT pass on their genes, is the dumbest thing I think I've ever read in my life.

This one is so dumb, even young-earth creationists will laugh at it.

Tell that to Jesse Dirksiring.

[Cold Heat]

Yeah sure!

So are paramecium.

"'Pinnicle'? That's the top, right? Just before it all goes down hill?"

No, it's a brand of golfball ...

[vin-one]

lol,

obviously this guy did not study evolution very long
how can a species survive without reproducing

sounds like he is trying to justify being gay,

[Kozak]

Yeah. The height of evolution is to pursue buggary. Seems like an evolutionary dead end to me.

BTW, the reason for the "Out of Africa" hoax is the fact that chimps live there. If orangutans were looking more human, it would be called "Out of Borneo".

[Centurion2000]

And at best a two generation problem for the normal people.

[Woodstock]

Hummmm... "Gay" and "Evolution"....
Isn't that an oxymoron?

I would just as soon remain a monkey, thanks anyway!
