Beside the older research done on the more obvious classes of
intersexed beings in other species, and the enormous variety of
intersex humans, there is now a new human research focus on the
traditional social roles of both feminized and exclusively homosexual
males in various primitive and extended-family traditional societies.
In these societies the 'gay uncle' is a social role that improves the
survival and social success of the 'gay' man's siblings' offspring,
and therefore the over-all reproductive success of the family. As a
provider, protector, educator and discipliner etc. the 'gay uncle' is
also the one who steps-in and takes care of his mother, if she is
widowed, and raises his younger siblings, instead of taking a wife and
raising his own children.
