What if fossils were the preserved remains of dead organisms?

i thought that thing once as well, not sure if something real or just a stupid idea.

I believe that is actually a theory, seeing as how humans are not the only homosexuals in the animal kingdom. There was some kind of study, feeling way to out of it to look for anything, but it had to do with ants and that if they were doing well the percentage of homosexuality would rise. This isn't the best case however, seeing as how the queen ant is usually the one having the children. I just thought it was interesting and/or useful to this thread and/or to tired to care.

As far as I understand it (I may be wrong though), homosexuality in animals was meant to help train adolescent males with scoring with the ladies when they were adults.

I've also heard the theory that as the population of a social species grows, so do the rates of homosexuality, as this is to help control breeding and aid with child rearing

I'm unsure whether this makes me wrong or half right. up vote for knowledge anyways.

No probs :) Like I said, I may be wrong, but it does have a sense of logic to it.

Then it would be too little too late, I'm pretty pessimistic about the general future of humanity. Fucking Malthus always wins

Funny when people say homosexuality is unnatural and religion isn't...

So I link them a picture or video of homosexual lions and tell them find me a picture of lions praying to [insert god here].

But with this arguement in place, it has suddenly became yet more natural to be gay.
