Study finds homosexuality surprisingly common among primates
Some 60 primate species, including baboons, chimpanzees and vervet monkeys, express homosexuality, according to a new study that sheds further light on the evolutionary origin of same-sex intimacy.
The findings add weight to the argument that homosexuality doesn’t defy nature and evolution.
Although homosexuality is documented in many animal species, the evolutionary and environmental factors behind it remain unclear.
