Anyone here into science? What are some recent (past 2-3 years) articles on a biological/genetic basis for homosexuality?

I suppose I am interested in recent research on homosexuality in general. Scihub has made it so much easier to read it all without having to possess an institutional account.

What are the chances of this being important?

About a 1% chance. Have a better source?

Also, gay men have a much lower incidence of prostate cancer which maybe could be related to

Column starting with value 16.47 is prostate cancer prevalence.

Correlation isn't causation though.
Prostate stimulation has been shown to reduce cancer risk, so gays who have anal sex would be expected to be more healthy (in that regard at least).

>>8671765
Not that dramatically and not all gays have receptive anal sex. My point is that it is perhaps likely (obviously not causation) that a gene that codes for androgen receptors and homosexuality and prostate function is related.

>>8671765
And if gay genes reduce prostate cancer risk, that could be one cause of their persistence in genetic inheritance.
