title: The homoerotic behavior that never evolved.
abstract: The emerging field of evolutionary psychology provides fascinating new insights into many salient human behaviors, but homosexual behavior is not among these. The new field perpetuates old stereotypes, and useful evolutionary analysis of homosexual behavior is largely nonexistent. In this article, the treatment of homosexual behavior in the field of evolutionary psychology is reviewed, and the factors contributing to this treatment are identified. Recommendations are made to help foster the development of alternative evolutionary models of homosexual behavior.
