a bigger matrix AND... this is the rest of the text of part 5/8, there wasn't enough space there: This constellation would involve orthodox causation: By "freely" choosing or being genetically and/or socially determined to be homosexual, the males actively contribute to the fecundity boost among the females in their maternal family. The social dynamics -- whose roots may, of course, nonetheless be genetic -- which produce a certain number of homosexuals could be adaptive if these homosexuals, in turn, sociodynamically increase their maternal family's number of births. This hypothesis could be thwarted if a significant number of females have already been born and proved to be overly fecund before overly many homosexual maternally related family members are born or conceived; otherwise, especially given the mean age of 33.22 in Camperio Ciani's (2004) homosexual sample group, it could be a substantial hypothesis worth testing. The birthdates of the relatives and "coming out" dates or other parameters of the homosexual males were not taken into consideration in Camperio Ciani (2004). Both of these causal constellations would resolve the dilemma in favour of the homosexuals. It is only if the female fecundity is one fixed thing and the sexual orientation of the males underdetermined -- albeit somewhat affected -- by it that there can be a chance for the heterosexuals to win the game.
