Dr Joel Rindelaub: Research fellow on new study confirming male monkeys who engage in same-sex relationships are more fertile

New research confirms male rhesus monkeys regularly engage in same-sex affection- which gives them a genetic advantage. Researchers found found that these male monkeys tended to father more offspring, suggesting that same-sex sexual behaviour provides a boost when it comes to breeding.  Dr Joel Rindelaub says this research addresses the 'historical paradox' regarding the benefits of same-sex interactions in the wild.
