Some Evolutionary Hypothesis about Homosexual Conduct that May Have Implications in the Bioethic Studies
Keywords:
variation, natural and sexual selection evolution, homosexualityAbstract
The world is composed of a wide biological diversity that, generally, it has been easy to recognize and understand. However, there are particular cases like some not reproductive sexual behaviors (notably homosexuality and sexual diversity.) which not only are inadequately explained, but they have also been denied by some hypotheses.
In this work there are discussed the most important evolutionary hypothesis of sexual interactions between organisms of the same sex and it is emphasis to use a greater theoretical pluralism to explain better some cultural and biological processes not understood properly.
