The evolution of same-sex attraction[electronic resource] /by Menelaos Apostolou. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2020. - xviii, 250 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: What is to be explained? -- Chapter 2: The genetic basis of same-sex attraction -- Chapter 3: Environmental factors affecting same-sex attraction -- Chapter 4: Evolutionary theories on same-sex attraction -- Chapter 5: Same-sex attraction in human history: Classical Greece, Imperial Rome and Christian Europe -- Chapter 6: Same-sex attraction in human history: Central and South America, Islamic world, and Asia -- Chapter 7: Assessing the evidence from the historical record -- Chapter 8: The Weak Selection Pressures Hypothesis -- Chapter 9: The weak selection pressures hypothesis: Regulation of mating, male-male competition and social consequences -- Chapter 10: The weak selection pressures hypothesis: Male-tolerance, forced sex and desire to have children -- Chapter 11: The male choice hypothesis -- Chapter 12: Assessing the male choice hypothesis -- Chapter 13: Positive selection on male homosexuality -- Chapter 14: The evolution of same-sex attraction in men and women.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the evolutionary origins of same-sex attraction, evaluating multiple existing evolutionary theories. It combines empirical findings with theoretical arguments in order to review evidence on the prevalence rates of same-sex attraction and determine its genetic and environmental basis. Among the topics addressed: Attitudes towards same-sex attraction across human history Assessing the weak selection pressures hypothesis of attraction Assessing the male choice hypothesis of attraction Evolution of same-sex attraction in men versus women The Evolution of Same-Sex Attraction will be of interest to academics and students of evolutionary and psychological sciences, filling a gap in literature on the origins of specifically same-sex attraction.
