| 題目 | Is gender A Social Construct Or A Biological Imperative? |
| 日期 | 20000724-26 |
| 簡介 | The nature vs. nurture debate on whether it is biology or environment that causes human beings to choose certain roles and lifestyles is a perennial controversy in sociobiology, but since the seventies the debate has been extended to whether nurture, i.e. culture, can override biology and be a determinant of sex itself. This paper critiques the “gender agenda” of contemporary feminism and the politicization of the word “gender” as a substitute for the sex of a person. |

| 題目 | The evolutionary puzzle of homosexuality |
| 日期 | 20140218 |
| 簡介 | Since the early 1990s, researchers have shown that homosexuality is more common in brothers and relatives on the same maternal line, and a genetic factor is taken to be the cause. But since gay and lesbian people have fewer children than straight people, a problem arises: “How can a trait like male homosexuality, which has a genetic component, persist over evolutionary time if the individuals that carry the genes associated with that trait are not reproducing?” |

| 題目 | Homosexuality may be caused by chemical modifications to DNA |
| 日期 | 20151008 |
| 簡介 | A new study suggests that methylation patterns in DNA may influence sexual orientation. Over the past 2 decades, researchers have turned up considerable evidence that homosexuality isn’t a lifestyle choice, but is rooted in a person’s biology and at least in part determined by genetics. |
