Genes that predispose a significant minority of men to homosexuality raise a Darwinian puzzle.

Dawkins himself about the problem:

quote:

---

If a homosexuality gene lowers its own probability of being reproduced today, and yet still abounds in the population, that is a problem for commonsense as much as for Darwin's theory of evolution. And, intriguing as several of these theories may be, I have to conclude that it remains a problem.

Dawkins equate darwinism theory with his "selfish gene" hypothesis. Homosexuality gene obviously cannot pass and replicate itself however selfish it is. Edited by AdminPaul, : Off topic
