"Psychologists used to believe homosexuality was caused by nurture namely overbearing mothers and distant fathers but that theory has been disproved. Today, scientists are looking at genes, environment, brain structure and hormones. There is one area of consensus: that homosexuality involves more than just sexual behavior; its physiological."
Ya don't say.
I wonder how long it'll be before we get to see the segment where scientists discover that, "obesity involves more than just eating too much and not excersizing enough; it's physiological(/hormonal/genetic)."
There are so many more mysteries to life--in the fields of science and medicine, in particular--that have yet to be discovered. (Have you heard of dogs who can smell cancer in humans?) I find it mind-boggling, in light of the incredible technological and other advances that have been made--especially in the past two or three decades--that man's humanity to man has not evolved as rapidly. We as a species are really not that far removed from our simian brothers and sisters when it comes to regard for our fellow beings.
It is great to hear this news, and this was a fascinating story. However, it didn't tell me much more than I have long felt--that there are valid and plausible reasons for diversity in nature as displayed in what gender we are attracted to, the color of our skin, or the variance of degree of adipose tissue on our frames. Just because we haven't discovered yet what they are doesn't mean that they don't exist.
About the nature vs. nurture theory, "There's also the environment that happens to us while were in the womb. And scientists are realizing that environment is much more important than we ever thought it was," Bailey explained."
No kidding.
It will be interesting to see how these discoveries play out in the media and how (eventual) indisputable proof might affect society's Cro-magnon way of thinking.
What will the "ists" of the world make sport of if and when all diversity in humans (including us fat ones) is scientifically explained?
