Resources are scarcer and hence more important in [[life history|harsh ecologies]] such as the winter in Northern/Eastern hemispheres, so one would expect [[life history|k-selected]] males there to exhibit more homocel and homosocial behavior to get some crumbs in dire conditions, whereas peripheralized males in easy, tropical ecologies can simply pick fruits all year long. Evidence for this may be that U.S. Asians are three times more likely to report a homosexual orientation than the country's average.<ref>http://akinokure.blogspot.com/2012/11/in-east-asians-blunted-sense-of-disgust.html</ref> Homosexual orientation is in fact also related to [[IQ]].<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/221794570_Intelligence_and_homosexuality</ref> | Resources are scarcer and hence more important in [[life history|harsh ecologies]] such as the winter in Northern/Eastern hemispheres, so one would expect [[life history|k-selected]] males there to exhibit more homocel and homosocial behavior to get some crumbs in dire conditions, whereas peripheralized males in easy, tropical ecologies can simply pick fruits all year long.

There are both r and K aspects to male homosexuality. Presumably the r-related aspects such as dominance, sodomizing, gay shaming etc. are evolutionarily more ancient, whereas the K aspects such as grooming, alliances, investment, homosociality etc. are newer and related to self-domestication. | |||
