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 topic.
Poster session
There will be an in-person poster session on Monday 27 March at the meeting venue. If you would like to apply to present a poster please submit your proposed title, abstract (not more than 200 words and in third person), author list, name of the proposed presenter and institution to the Scientific Programmes team no later than Friday 10 March 2023.
Please include the text 'Poster abstract submission - Genetics and evolution of sexual orientation' in the email subject line. Please note that posters are selected at the scientific organisers' discretion.
