CHAPTER

Is There a Young Boy or Girl Who Follows the Diet of a Father and Vice Versa?

I think the same general diversity that we see in human society is probably also present in the primates. We don't have good systematic studies on that. But i describe in my book, for example, a female chimponsy who, from a very young age onwards, acted more like a male. I would not call her lesbian, because she was not sexually interested in females, or in males for that matter. And so i describe her as gente nonconforming individual, basically, ye tha those ce she could be trancef if she could talk.
