Implications of Evolutionary Theory for Human Homosexuality

Cultural Variation

The first type ("gay" culture) is defined by the fact that predominant homosexuals have sexual relations primarily with other predominant homosexuals. This is the system of Northern Europeans and their descendants, and may be spreading with the processes of economic globalization. However, it is actually the most rarely found ethnographically. In an examination of the HRAF records I have been unable to find a single non-Northern European "traditional" (i.e. not influenced by Europeans) culture with this system.
