Genetics and evolution of sexual orientation - POSTPONED
This meeting is postponed. More details to follow.
Theo Murphy international scientific meeting organised by Professor Vincent Savolainen, Dr Nathan Bailey and Professor Sergey Gavrilets.
Homosexuality is common in animals and humans, but the biological foundations of such behaviour are unknown. Instead, as offspring are not produced, it is considered a Darwinian paradox. This meeting will confront genetic mechanisms and socio-evolutionary models underlying sexual orientation, in light of recent genomic findings, and with the aim to provide a modern, science-led synthesis on this controversial topic.
