Sex exhibitions in animals

An apple exhibition has brought new insights into the evolutionary demands of sexual activity. Sex and science are often separate from each other. Most people do not want sexual medical treatment, while most scientists do not want their research work to be mushy. However, recent sexual science seems to be penetrating deep into the public.

Olivia Judson (author of 'Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation' work) ('Dr Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation') blogs for the New York Times; and Bonk, the book on research The science with the subject of 'how' and 'why' in the field of sex, is the best-selling publication, according to that trend, starting last week the Museum of Sex in New York City developed Exhibition of Sex in Animals.

The new exhibition, suggested by evolutionary biologist Joan Roughgarden of Stanford University, argues that sex in the animal kingdom is much more diverse than what is mentioned in biology classes. Bisexual deer, pandas like eroticism and even mallards have homosexual relationships, just a few examples that the exhibition cited as evidence of the natural world for non-purpose sexual activities Reproduction is as common as reproductive intercourse.

Some of the materials in the exhibition are illustrative (the statue of two dolphins in a position where animals without sprinklers cannot be performed) and are approached by an objective scientific perspective. . This attitude is the key factor of recent success in the sexual approach towards specialization. Using a scientific lens can alleviate obscene factors. The shield of science paved the way for sexual conversations, which could not have happened on public congregations, where only a naked image led to years-long litigation.

At the same time, the topics discussed need to have a proper understanding of biology.The exhibition has always made it clear that sexual acts are not for the purpose of reproducing the foundations of population structure in vertebrates . Without those populations, the animals will fade away. In this way, behavior does not yield reproductive results, and is therefore considered 'evolutionary useless', proving its value by increasing the survivability of other members in one herd by strengthening common bond and affection. This argument about evolution marks one of the two implicit messages of the exhibition.

The first message, supported by Roughgarden, challenged Darwin's sex selection rule. Sex selection recognizes that useless structures such as tails evolve to show the genetic qualities of males to a group of fastidious females. Roughgarden doubted the gender role in that theory and argued that sex selection did not accurately explain the frequent occurrence of homosexual and bisexual sex in most vertebrate species.

The second message of the exhibition turned attention from animals to humans, using sexual images in animals to criticize strict social classification in society. It is no coincidence that the exhibition ends with statues, images, and documentation of sexual desire monkeys, along with chimpanzees, being the closest relatives of humankind. Oral sex, sexuality in children, homosexuality or any other form of sex is just a daily activity in life. Sex is often used in exchange for food and claiming sovereignty, and only the relationship between mother and adult son is taboo. If actions that are thought to be human only appear in our relatives, what actions are considered 'natural' to us?

The exhibition excelled at the work of sexually overarching is often overlooked by biologists, but it lacks a thorough discussion of evolution. Sex is formed to take advantage of natural selection and accelerate evolution. In addition, evolution cannot be grasped or understood without sexual studies. At a time when Americans have a very limited understanding of evolution, it is regrettable that the exhibition does not take advantage of the opportunity to convey important knowledge about the relationship between sex and evolution to visitors. .

Although lacking in evolutionary content, exhibits success in presenting an important aspect of nature that you cannot find at the American Museum of Natural History. Sure, you may be interested in dinosaurs there, but only the Museum of Sex tells you about the popularity of chlamydia (a type of sexually transmitted bacteria) in koalas. Rich in information but humorous, straightforward but solemn, the sex life of animals is a must-see exhibition if you are interested, even a little, with science or sex or both.

The sex museum is located at No. 27, Building 5, open from 11 am to 6:30 pm on Sundays to Fridays, and from 11 am to 8 pm on Saturday. Animal sex will take place until spring 2009. This exhibition is not suitable for children.
