Homosexual Behaviour in Animals - An Evolutionary Perspective (Hardcover)

Behavioural observations from both the field and captivity indicate
that same-sex sexual interactions are widespread throughout the
animal kingdom, and occur quite frequently in certain non-human
species. Proximate studies of these phenomena have yielded
important insights into genetic, hormonal and neural correlates. In
contrast, there has been a relative paucity of research on the
evolutionary aspects. Homosexual Behaviour in Animals seeks to
redress this imbalance by exploring animal same-sex sexual
behaviour from an evolutionary perspective. Contributions focus on
animals that routinely engage in homosexual behaviour and include
birds, dolphin, deer, bison and cats, as well as monkeys and apes,
such as macaques, gorillas and bonobos. A final chapter looks at
human primates. This book will appeal to graduate students and
researchers in evolutionary biology, biological anthropology,
zoology, evolutionary psychology, animal behaviour and anyone
interested in the current state of knowledge in this area of
behavioural studies.
