| Synopsis: |
Since the ground-breaking work of Simon LeVay and Dean Hamer in the early '90s, a tremendous amount of new research has been carried out by scientists who now understand a great deal more about the biology of sexual attraction. But how much does the non-scientific community really know about this research or understand the far-reaching implications of it? Born Gay? is the first book to provide a summary of this new research - much of which has been carried out by the authors - for the general reader. Glenn Wilson is one of the ten most cited British scientists in the world, and a leading authority on human psychology. With Qazi Rahman, an emerging light in the field of human sexual orientation, he provides compelling new evidence that sexual orientation is largely innate, and clarifies much of the confusion about frequently misused terms such as the 'gay brain' and 'gay gene'. They show that attempts to find a sociological cause for homosexuality have little foundation, and argue that popular efforts to blame parents or teachers for a child's homosexuality are futile and unjust.Combining their own findings with all the available quantifiable research, Wilson and Rahman have, with Born Gay?, provided an urgently needed addition to - and overview of - the major work that has been done in this field. |
