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.

I hate to be slow but does this scientist know about AIDS? AIDS is natural selection at work. Those who engage in risky behavior naturally end up dead. Show me a gay man who doesn't sleep around and I'll show you a gay man who will outlive his friends.

Oh Boy.
I would love to hear what some of those freeper evolutionists have to say about this one.
To: Lazamataz
No homosexual would exist if not for heterosexuals. There is no "chicken or egg" question regarding who came first, normal people or queers. Homosexuals cannot replicate.
If this looney tune thinks "queers are the pinnacle of human evolution" then the next logical step in "human evolution" would be no more humans. What a moron!

'Creative and playful' as the pinnacle of evolution will not cut it.
From that homosexual pinnacle, there will be nowhere to go but 'down'.

Homosexuality, by its very nature, is a biological dead end.
Let them kill themselves, but I'll be damned if some mutant is gonna sit there and claim genetic superiority when he/she cannot procreate and sees never growing up as a good thing.
What a moron....

They are at the pinnacle of their evolutionary pyramid. They don't reproduce, so that's it for their chain. Somehow, I don't think that's what this scientist means.

You could say that homosexuals are at the pinnacle of human evolution." Evolution goes both ways... You can also say they are the at the pinnacle of deviate evolution.

From men's obsession with swollen breasts This bonehead thinks this is someting new?!?! Men have just recently started obsessing over them??? Just goes to show the ignorance of a person claiming that a man wanting to plug a stump, a sheep, a hole in the wall, or a man's butt, is "evolution" at it's pinnacle.

They get the pinnacle award only if some of them evolve ovaries in the rectum. Then we'll talk.
