rolling up my sleeves to get to work...

...because I promised to work on the section of my collab on models of same-sex sexual behavior evolution that incorporate a pleiotropic effect of fecundity on the same alleles.

Which means I'm going to be heavily diving into the human literature. Which I knew when I volunteered to do it.

But... oh god is this going to be a trip as I dig through this lit and summarize it so I can explain it for my collaborators. Man. I might have to go and indulge in a root beer-and-rum.

(no subject)

"how has homosexual orientation evolved, given that, on average, homosexual individuals produce fewer children than do heterosexual individuals (this relative fitness relation between homosexuals and heterosexuals is considered an assumption for the purposes of this paper, given that the empirical evidence in the literature from Alfred Kinsey and others is weak)"

sir

do you hear yourself

I am not entirely sure if I can review this literature sober. The first thing I tackled was a piece purporting to be a review about proposed mechanisms for the evolution of female homosexuality; it spent three or four paragraphs explaining the possibility that bisexuality in women evolved for the purpose of attracting and interesting heterosexual men.

I cannot even.
