Same-sex sexual behavior observed in dozens of primate species, suggesting evolutionary origin

This is so cool 🤯! I mean, who knew same-sex behavior was basically a norm in the animal kingdom? 59 species of primates? That's wild. And it makes sense too, think about it - in those harsh environments, having an extra way to build alliances and manage competition would be super useful. Like, imagine being part of a troop with strict hierarchies - you'd want all the advantages you can get 😂. So yeah, it seems like this "currency" thing Savolainen talks about is for real. Can't wait to learn more about other examples of animal behavior that challenge our traditional views 🦒📚
 
I'm just thinking, it's pretty wild to see how same-sex behavior is actually more common in certain primate groups than we thought... like, I guess it makes sense that in times of stress or competition, they'd use sex as a way to build alliances and avoid fights 🤔. It kinda changes the way we think about what sex is for in animals, right? Like, it's not just for making babies, but also for social stuff... I'm curious if this study might lead to some new insights on human behavior too 🌎
 
can't believe how many primate species are into same-sex stuff 🤯 59 species? that's wild! and it makes sense too, i mean if they gotta compete for resources and deal with harsh environments, maybe same-sex behavior helps 'em build alliances or avoid drama. but what really gets me is how researchers are trying to say it's not weird or rare, it's just a way for them to navigate their societies like we use money 💸. Marlene Zuk makes some good points too about us needing to understand animal sex better than just thinking it's all about reproduction.
 
omg can u believe that 59 species of non-human primates are into same-sex stuff? 🤯 it's crazy how they use sex as a way to build alliances and avoid drama in their groups! i'm loving this research, it shows us that sex isn't just for breeding, but also for building social bonds. it's like a secret language that only certain people understand 🤫. and can you believe how common it is? like 23 species have been observed doing same-sex stuff? that's wild! 👀 i'm so here for this study and the scientists who are shedding light on animal sex 🐒💖
