Description:
In a follow-up to his controversial first book, Sexual Brain, Simon LeVay, an English-born neuro-anatomist associated with the Salk Institute in San Diego, continues to argue that scientific support for the genetic predisposition theory is the best strategy for the homosexual community to embrace. Queer Science: The Use and Abuse of Research Into Homosexuality contrasts his own research--which showed that the INAH-3 nucleus in the hypothalamus is smaller in homosexual men than in heterosexual men--with the "environmental" explanation of neglect and poor parenting. LeVay believes his findings will one day eradicate the myth that homosexuality is something to "recover" from.
