      I see the correlation between human stress and reproductive changes. It amazes me how we humans think that we are different from all other animals. Furthering the comparison, though, research on non-human animals found an increase in non-heterosexual activity when individuals encountered high stress levels. Would it follow that the growing acceptance of homosexuality in our society is actually an unconscious response to the increasing levels of stress in our society, including environmental degradation, crowding, concern about global climate change, etc.?

      Of course, I realize that there are taboos about talking about homosexuality as anything other than a normal thing, which I believe it is. However, if environmental stress was resulting in lower fertility rates, lower testosterone levels and increased feminization of males, we should probably be trying to understand it better – rather than denying the possibility. If our young people are less interested in producing children, we should probably know about it, also. However, there are so many taboo topics that much of our research is focused in narrow areas that leave many major avenues uninvestigated.

      These ideas do suggest the possibility of a human population crash. However, would it be spread evenly or be focused among some populations and demographic groups more than others?
