Scientific Reviews

The following papers are supplementary to My Genes Made Me Do It! and are listed below. They are in the form of either html documents or pdfs.

They are authored by Dr NE Whitehead, PhD (research scientist), author of the book My Genes Made Me Do It - Homosexuality and the Scientific Evidence, and over 150 published scientific papers.

This 6th and latest edition of My Genes Made Me Do It  (January 2022) takes account of research undertaken between 2000 - 2017. We found the more recent the research the more it strengthened the book's original conclusions. These papers are extra to the book and 10 have been peer reviewed and published in professional journals. They are a little dated - but they are not OUTdated - (the foundational principles of biochemistry do not change.)
