Why couldn’t they have become extinct? :)
would have made sense evolution wise. They’re kind of useless.
But cunning at times.
Same reason cancer exists and was not bred out. And cancer kills even more of the hosts.
Or it’s behavorial.
Or both. I go with both.
Another point to ponder.
We have records of behavior going back MAYBE 10K years. If there are 1.% percent of gays today in the total pop, is there evidence to suggest or disprove that they did not comprise 20-30-40% 400,000 yeas ago?
Because if there is, then evo has indeed selected them for extinction just as we suspect.
