Prevalence of homosexuality in men is stable throughout time since many carry the genes

Around half of all heterosexual men and women potentially carry so-called homosexuality genes that are passed on from one generation to the next. This has helped homosexuality to be present among humans throughout history and in all cultures, even though homosexual men normally do not have many descendants who can directly inherit their genes.

According to previous research, sexual orientation is influenced to a degree by genetic factors and is therefore heritable. Chaladze says this poses a problem from an evolutionary perspective, because homosexual men tend not to have many offspring to whom they can provide their genetic material. In fact, they have on average five times fewer children than their heterosexual counterparts.

Based on Chaladze's calculations, male homosexuality is maintained in a population at low and stable frequencies if half of the men and roughly more than half of the women carry genes that predispose men to homosexuality.

No new-age junk science has ever proved Darwin's Theories wrong either.

Of course, that’s nothing but junk science. No one has been able to prove Charles Darwin’s theories of Evolution and Natural Selection wrong yet.

Why haven't these junk scientists won the Nobel Prize for science if they have actually just disproven Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution now?
