This document summarizes and critiques a scientific journal article on biological determinism and homosexuality. It discusses how claims of biological bases for differences in gender and sexuality have historically been used to justify social hierarchies. The document then analyzes a specific study on differences in the corpus callosum between men and women, arguing it was based on a small sample size and its findings were contradicted by later studies with better methodologies. Finally, it closely examines and critiques a study on brain differences between heterosexual and homosexual men, identifying flaws in its premises, sample size, and conclusions.

Social innovation labs are the latest vehicles for systemic change for disrupting the way our cities, our schools, our welfare programs, even our economic systems run. But how do they really work? It is time to get beyond the hype and properly probe into the practices and underlying theories of social innovation laboratories. To make our assumptions explicit about how labs prompt systemic change. To critique its logic. To ultimately learn how labs could lead to better functioning systems. Which enable people to live better lives, both now and in the future.

How hormones affect behavioral and neural developmentTeresa Levy
油
This document provides an introduction to a special issue journal on how gonadal hormones affect behavioral and neural development. It summarizes several studies showing that hormones like testosterone and estrogen influence behaviors in humans and other species. For example, females exposed to high testosterone levels prenatally tend to show more male-typical behaviors. The introduction discusses themes across the special issue articles, such as how hormones have both organizational effects during development and activational effects in adulthood. It also provides background on the range of methods used to study hormone-behavior relationships.Homosexuality, birth order, and evolution
Homosexuality, birth order, and evolutionTeresa Levy
油
This article proposes that homosexuality can be explained by a polygenetic trait influenced by multiple genes. During development, these genes shift male brain development in a more feminine direction. While single alleles may produce homosexuality, carriers of these alleles who are heterosexual tend to be better fathers and more attractive mates. This balanced polymorphism allows alleles that contribute to homosexuality to survive by offsetting their negative reproductive impacts through positively impacting heterosexual carriers. A similar effect is proposed to exist for genes that could produce lesbianism in females.Homosexuality, birth order, and evolution (2)
Homosexuality, birth order, and evolution (2)Teresa Levy

This journal article proposes that homosexuality can be explained by a polygenetic trait influenced by multiple genes. During development, these genes shift male brain development in a more feminine direction. While single alleles may produce homosexuality, carriers of these alleles who are heterosexual tend to be better fathers and more attractive mates. There is a balanced polymorphism where the feminizing effects in heterosexuals offsets the reproductive disadvantages of these alleles contributing to homosexuality. The birth order effect on homosexuality may be a byproduct of a mechanism that shifts later-born sons' personalities more femininely, reducing competition with brothers.Homosexuality and biology
Homosexuality and biologyTeresa Levy
油
The document discusses research into the biological basis of homosexuality from the perspective of psychiatry and neurobiology. Early research treated homosexuality as a mental illness for psychiatry to treat. Later, neurobiology framed it as a natural variation in behavior and studied anatomical differences between the brains of straight and gay men using standard experimental designs to identify significant differences. However, the research approaches did not question predefined categories of what is considered "natural" and often objectified the people studied.Homosexuality and bio
Homosexuality and bioTeresa Levy
油
The document summarizes the current scientific research into the biological factors that influence sexual orientation. It notes that biology has begun to study what causes homosexuality and has provided some early answers, though the findings are still tentative. It also acknowledges that researching sexuality and the brain is challenging given our limited understanding of neurobiology. Some fear the quest to find biological explanations could lead to hype or be an intellectual dead end. The document concludes by saying the topic is politically charged, which has led to professional rivalries among researchers, some of whom have personal motivations as they themselves are gay.Handedness, sexual orientation and gender
Handedness, sexual orientation and genderTeresa Levy
油
This journal article examines the relationship between handedness, sexual orientation, and gender-related personality traits. The introduction summarizes previous research finding associations between non-right handedness and homosexuality in both men and women, as well as gender identity disorder. Specifically, homosexual men were 34% more likely to be non-right handed than heterosexual men, and homosexual women were 91% more likely to be non-right handed than heterosexual women. The article also reviews evidence of slightly higher rates of left-handedness in males compared to females. Finally, a few studies found that non-right handed women tended to score higher on instrumentality and lower on expressiveness, exhibiting more male-typical personality traits.Hand preference, sexual preference and transsexualism
Hand preference, sexual preference and transsexualismTeresa Levy
油
This journal article examines the relationship between hand preference, sexual preference, and transsexualism. The authors studied 443 male-to-female and 93 female-to-male transsexuals and found they were more often non-right handed compared to male and female controls. This suggests an altered pattern of cerebral hemispheric organization in transsexuals. Prenatal androgen levels may influence both handedness and psychosexual development. Elevated testosterone in utero could affect brain development and increase non-right handedness.
Genes and human behavior
Genes and human behaviorTeresa Levy
油
This document summarizes a journal article about genes and human behavior. The article reviews research on the genetic influences of cognitive abilities, personality traits, health habits, and psychopathology. It discusses studies on conditions like reading disabilities, Fragile-X syndrome, alcoholism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease. The article also examines new molecular genetics approaches and debates around behavioral genetics research.Gay science

This document provides an introduction to the book "Gay Science: The Ethics of Sexual Orientation Research" by Timothy F. Murphy. The introduction outlines the ongoing scientific and social debate around the origins and meaning of sexual orientations like homosexuality. It notes that while past research often assumed homosexuality was a psychological disorder, more recent research takes a neutral stance on causation but still has social implications. The introduction previews the book's aim to provide an ethical analysis of sexual orientation research and its potential impacts, both positive and negative, on gay people. It does not intend to argue for any particular causal theory but rather map out the relevant issues for discussion.Finger length ratios in female monozygotic twins
Finger length ratios in female monozygotic twinsTeresa Levy
油
This study examines finger length ratios in female monozygotic twins who are discordant for sexual orientation. Previous research has found that lesbian women tend to have lower finger length ratios, suggesting higher prenatal androgen exposure. The study aims to determine if differences in prenatal environment contribute to differences in sexual orientation for these twins by examining their finger length ratios. If finger length ratios differ between twins discordant for sexual orientation, it would provide evidence that prenatal environment, not just genetics, impacts development of sexual orientation.Female sexual orientation and pubertal onset
Female sexual orientation and pubertal onsetTeresa Levy
油
This article examines the relationship between female sexual orientation and pubertal onset. The researchers hypothesized that lesbians would have a later, more masculine age of pubertal onset compared to heterosexual women based on theories that both sexual orientation and pubertal timing are influenced by prenatal androgens. They studied samples of community volunteers and discordant twins but found no significant differences in pubertal onset between homosexual and heterosexual women, contrary to their hypothesis.Evolutionary perspective of sex typed toy preferences
Evolutionary perspective of sex typed toy preferencesTeresa Levy
油
This article discusses an evolutionary perspective on sex-typed toy preferences in children. It proposes that evolved visual processing biases may contribute to differences in how boys and girls interact with toys. Selection pressures that evolved male preferences for male playmates and female roles related to object features and functions may influence children's toy choices in adaptive ways. Research on sex differences in spatial abilities, color vision, and the social and biological factors that shape toy preferences is reviewed to support this perspective.Empowerment and medicalization of homosexuality
Empowerment and medicalization of homosexualityTeresa Levy
油
This article summarizes the origins of the Committee for the Study of Sex Variants, formed in 1935 to study homosexuality. It involved collaboration between the homosexual community, represented by activist Jan Gay, and the medical community, led by Dr. Robert Latou Dickinson. However, their interests conflicted, as physicians sought to medicalize and pathologize homosexuality rather than empower the community. The committee's study, while well-intentioned, undermined Gay's goals and served to further subjugate homosexuals under the medical gaze. The collaboration nonetheless anticipated later efforts to establish a more equitable relationship between researchers and their subjects.Elizabeth anderson

Evolutionary psychology holds that human behaviors, like mate selection and aggression, evolved through natural selection to promote survival and reproduction. According to this view, humans look for symmetry, averageness, and signs of fertility like hormone levels in mates. Some evolutionary psychologists have proposed that rape tendencies could have evolved as a reproductive strategy for socially unsuccessful males to pass on their genes. However, others argue this does not justify such behavior today. Evolutionary psychology remains controversial as some view it as suggesting unequal chances for success.Differences in finger length ratios between butch and femine
Differences in finger length ratios between butch and femineTeresa Levy
油
This journal article examines differences in finger length ratios between self-identified "butch" and "femme" lesbians. Prior research has found that auditory evoked potentials and otoacoustic emissions, markers of prenatal androgen exposure, are more masculine in lesbians compared to heterosexual women. This study explores whether the ratio of the length of the index finger to the ring finger (2D:4D), another purported marker of prenatal androgen exposure, differs between "butch" and "femme" lesbians.Dermatoglyphics, handedness sex, and sexual orientation
Dermatoglyphics, handedness sex, and sexual orientationTeresa Levy
油
This journal article examines the relationship between dermatoglyphics (fingerprint patterns), handedness, sex, and sexual orientation. It suggests that examining characteristics like dermatoglyphics and handedness, whose timing of formation is known, can help localize when sexual orientation is programmed during development. The article notes that fingerprint patterns are determined between 8-16 weeks of fetal life, while handedness appears to depend on prenatal genetic and environmental factors. It aims to replicate and expand on prior research examining theoretical associations between dermatoglyphic asymmetry, handedness, and sexual orientation.Defining the brain systems of lust
Defining the brain systems of lustTeresa Levy
油
This article discusses three brain systems related to human mating and reproduction: lust, romantic attraction, and attachment. Lust evolved to initiate mating with any appropriate partner for sexual gratification. Attraction evolved to help individuals choose and prefer specific mating partners to conserve time and energy. Attachment evolved to enable individuals to cooperate with a reproductive mate until parental duties are completed. The article defines these three systems and discusses an ongoing study using fMRI to investigate the neural circuits associated with romantic attraction.
