Brian Lerch

Brian Lerch, a theoretical ecologist and evolutionary biologist with a fresh PhD from UNC Chapel Hill, dives into fascinating insights about same-sex sexual behavior in the animal kingdom. He discusses how this behavior may have adaptive purposes rather than posing evolutionary challenges. Lerch then delves into the evolutionary implications of indiscriminate versus discriminated sexual behaviors, revealing surprising dynamics in mate attachment and even the role of divorce in fostering healthier relationships. It's a thought-provoking exploration of behavior, evolution, and relationships!
