1
Gay genes exist.
2
Genetic hotspots on chromosome 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, and the X chromosome XQ28 region have all been linked to sexual orientation.
3
But gay men and women have significantly less kids than straight people, so how come these gay genes continue to persist in humans?
4
The answer is insane.
5
New research finds bisexual men play a fascinating role in the evolution of gay genes, but before we get to that,
6
we need to understand the biological reasons why gay people exist.
7
You're more likely to be gay if you have older brothers.
8
Studies show that for each additional older brother you have,
9
there is an increase in the odds that a younger brother will be gay by 33 to 34%.
10
For example, if the oldest brother had a 2 % chance of being gay, the probability rises to 2 .6%,
11
3 .5%, and 4 .6 % for each successive brother.
12
The biological reason older brothers make you gay is because when the male fetus grows,
13
certain proteins derived from the father's Y chromosome are foreign to the mother's immune system.
14
Her body will respond by producing antibodies, which with each successive male pregnancy becomes more sensitized,
15
the response increases and turns on gay genes.
16
The interaction of the fetus to the environment causes the mother's body to go through biological processes of methylation
17
and phosphorylation that changes how gay genes are decoded and expressed.
18
The mother's antibodies subtly alter the next male fetus's genes to allow them to express potentially more gay genes.
19
Yes, it's true, a mother will more likely have a gay son the more sons she has.
20
It's an insane sentence, but it's true.
21
The reason this happens could be due to kin selection,
22
a biological theory that you yourself don't need to reproduce in order to ensure the survival of your genes.
23
Gay men and gay women on average have less kids themselves, but are statistically more likely to be caring,
24
compassionate, and look after their immediate family members.
25
By investing time in nieces, nephews, siblings, and the extended family, gay people are spreading their genes by ensuring that their larger family's genes continue.
26
In a way, you achieve the same result as personal reproduction.
27
Gay genes exist due to something called the gay uncle hypothesis.
28
Posited by scientists
29
that it is biologically advantageous for a mother to have a
30
gay kid as gay people are more likely to help the immediate family and not leave to procreate with another person.
31
And finally, what about bisexual men?
32
Well, Bisexual men have an evolutionary advantage.
33
Bi men who have genetic markers for homosexuality and heterosexuality have also been found to be more likely to take risks.
34
A study from the UK Biobank posits
35
that the genetically bisexual men who happen to take more risks
36
would have had a huge biological advantage in hunter -gatherer and pre -modern societies.
37
Bi men who were taking risks might have spread their seed further
38
and wider than straight men and had more reproductive success in the past.
39
This is part of the reason why some of the gay genes
40
that these bi men have would have continued to be prevalent in human populations up until now.
41
Yes, so one of the reasons why, as gay guys and our gay genes may still be here, is thanks to the bi men.
42
Sup, boys?
43
These are a few of the thousands of biological processes that are linked to gay genes in humans.
44
In fact, depending on how it is measured, surveys find that 2 to 10 % of the human population is gay.
45
But it's not just us.
46
Gayness is all over the animal kingdom and has been found in every branch of the evolutionary tree.
47
There are thousands of species that have been studied to show homosexual traits, but due to past homophobic concepts
48
and how the evolution of science like kind of grew at a time when homophobia was quite rich,
49
there's even more and more research coming in now as we expand our minds towards the animal kingdom.
50
Essentially it's been understudied for years, but there are gay genes all over every animal on earth.
51
I think it's important to remember that our gayness is heavily linked to our biology.
52
We'll put a podcast here for even more information if you want to learn more.
53
Thank you so much for watching and we will see you soon for a new science video.

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest
Der Sprecher verwendet 3 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel don't, we'll, you're. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.
- Die „th“-Laute: hypothesis /haɪˈpɒθɪsɪs/, methylation /ˌmɛθɪˈleɪʃən/
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: bisexual /baɪˈsɛk.ʃ(əw).əl/, evolution /ˌiːvəˈluːʃ(ə)n/, evolutionary /ˌiː.vəˈluː.ʃən.ɛɹ.i/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/, potentially /pəˈtɛnʃ(ə)li/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: biological /ˌbaɪ.əˈlɑ.d͡ʒɪ.kəl/, bisexual /baɪˈsɛk.ʃ(əw).əl/, evolution /ˌiːvəˈluːʃ(ə)n/, evolutionary /ˌiː.vəˈluː.ʃən.ɛɹ.i/, essentially /ɪˈsɛnʃəli/
Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:
- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: successive /səkˈsɛsɪv/, odd /ɑd/, expand /ɪkˈspænd/, extend /ɛkˈstɛnd/, depend /dɪˈpɛnd/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: expand /ɪkˈspænd/, interaction /ˌɪn.təˈɹæk.ʃən/, podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/, compassionate /kəmˈpæʃənət/, antibody /ˈæn.tɪˌbɑ.di/
- /dʒ/ — stimmhaft, nicht „tsch“: gene /d͡ʒiːn/, biological /ˌbaɪ.əˈlɑ.d͡ʒɪ.kəl/, genetic /d͡ʒəˈnɛt.ɪk/, biology /baɪˈɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/, genetically /d͡ʒəˈneɾɪkli/
So übst du mit diesem Video
- Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
- Beginne mit 0,75-facher Geschwindigkeit, sprich Satz für Satz nach und wechsle zur normalen Geschwindigkeit, sobald es leichtfällt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie gene, biological, bisexual.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
