A husband-and-wife team of anthropologists at Washington State University named Barry and Bonnie Hewlett believe that they’ve found a society without gay sex—and that there other societies, too, in which some presumably universal behaviors, such as homosexuality and masturbation, are nonexistent at all levels of analysis.
The Hewletts work amid a group of peaceful net-hunting foragers in central Africa known as the Aka, who live in migratory camps of about 25 to 35 individuals.

My guess is that the concept and custom of same sex relations has origins somewhere in asia minor...and it took place way way before the time of christ.
They could always fudge their results if they were unhappy to learn that the world is not universally gay.
How about the existence of rape, incest, and bestiality? I mean while we are discussing the universal nature of man to lapse into baser instincts that are commonly found in the animal kingdom.
Man is a civilized creature which scientists cannot comprehend.
Islam allows men to play with boy’s but not men. Of course they do it but they take the risk of being executed UNLESS they are in jihad(killing non-Muslims)
lets say homosexuality in nature without socialist influences is 1% (could be up to 3% at max) that would take a camp of 400 people to get two males or two females.
Logically that means it is civilization that gives us homosexuality.
Ooh, baaaaad.
No rimshot for you!
On Thursday nights, the ANA have what the Brits call “man-love” night, or “man-love Thursdays.” Interestingly, Iraqis would sometimes say that a man is not a homosexual unless he has sex with other men when he is over thirty. At that age, they say, a man should stop, or else he’s a homosexual, which is a perversion of faith. I recall reading Ahmed Rashid’s fantastic and prescient book Taliban, which was published before the war. Mr. Rashid described a tank battle waged between warlords over the services of a young boy. Boys are for pleasure, women are for babies, they say. Such is this land, Jurassic Park. I called Mr. Rashid at his home in Pakistan a couple years ago, and he sounded increasingly pessimistic about the region. He has written another book titled Jihad!, which I brought with me but traded with Major Adam Dawson, the British officer in charge of Gib, who had another fine book called Afghanistan: A Short History of Its People and Politics, by Martin Ewans.Ernst Roehm wasn't killed because of his sexuality but rather due to his being a threat to Hitler.http://www.michaelyon-online.com/death-in-the-corn-part-i-of-iii/page-2.htm
This just shows the ignorance of the author.
It is a comprehensively irrelevant statement. The question is how much difference the .1% to .3% genetic difference makes.
When it comes to genes, little differences make big differences.
Nope. That was Rudolph Hess.
Rohm got a suspended sentence.
Hi, Mr. Arrows. You’re not such a bad guy.
The sentiment is mutual, madam.
I’m not a guy.
Gender is a social construct.
You’re the man who never sleeps, Mr. Arrows.
ZzzZZZZZzzZzzzzZZzzzz...
Obviously, my friend Slings is asleep. At least I know he’s still all right.
You want to back that up? I know the founder of the SA Ernst Rohm was gay, that's about it for the Nazi's hierarchy.
Oh ~ well, OK. He was a good guy then (bwahahahaha)
have you read the pink swastika? it is online. Hitler’s first speeches were given in beerhalls freqented by homosexuals. it goes from their. much of it was political adversaries, criminals, and other excuses.
