E346: Our Last Episode, BYG is Moving on…to X

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with host, Nathan Gershfeld. In today’s show, we discuss our last episode 345 being removed for ‘medical misinformation’ even though we have video proof of what was referenced in the offending episode. After an appeal, our video was re-instated, but the creepy feeling of censorship remains. So we are moving to the X platform. We hope to see you there for our normal BYG content.

E343 Pt 2: How can Homosexuality stay in the population? An evolutionary psychology explanation.

Evolutionary psychologist, Doug Lisle, PhD discusses listener questions with host, Nathan Gershfeld.  In today’s Part 2 from episode 343, Dr. Lisle discusses a potential explanation for why homosexuality persists in the population despite homosexuals having fewer children. 

1. I understand that the very basis of natural selection is transmission and expression of genes – basically we are all evolved to pass as many of our successful genes into the population, and that the characteristics and behavior of the organism is evolved to promote this goal. However, how does that explain the persistent existence of gay people. Their behavior does not work to pass genes into the population – in fact, quite the opposite. I’ve heard this expressed as a Darwinian Paradox. Is there other behaviors that are also Darwinian Paradoxes? Btw, I’m gay and this in no way is intended to imply that homosexuality is an aberration.
