![]() This was one of the reasons the experiment of Universe 25 fascinated me so much. But if it is a mistake of the DNA, it should not occur on such a great scale as it does today. Thus, I reemphasise, homosexuality is not normal and it is not a choice. However, it had been noted that animals exhibiting homosexual activities does not equate to the animals actually being homosexual and most of these animals always go on to breed with the opposite sex for offspring. For a person to be homosexual is a mistake in the genes, and this mistake is observed even in nature, where specific animals have exhibited homosexuality (except for bonobos, they just kinda oversexed). Our biology is built for heterosexuality. To believe that seems plainly irrational. Advocates would say that LGBTQ has always existed on this scale and it was the recent liberation of the LGBTQ oppression that made the phenomenon looked like some cultural wave. With the recent high profile ‘coming-out’ of Elliot Page and a few years ago, Caitlyn Jenner, it almost seems definite that this is a rising trend. The increase in the LGBTQ community has been undeniable. The objective of the experiment was to study the effects of overpopulation on behaviours, but personally, I saw something extra from the experiment. (PS: This is called the behavioural sink and you should really read up on the experiment, it is fascinating) In a little over 1000 days, the mice colony was close to extinction, and whatever mice left in Universe 25 were all sexually inactive, with no desires or instinct to reproduce. There was enough space for 3800 mice to eat and live comfortably, but the population only peaked at 2200 mice. ![]() To make things even stranger, the dominant male mouse did not reject the advances of these pansexual mice and even reciprocated. These pansexual mice consisted of male mice which were found submissive in the presence of a dominant male mouse and would try to mate with the dominant male mouse. ![]() However, an even more bizarre behaviour that was not included in this paragraph emerged – the pansexual mice. When the population started declining the beautiful ones were spared from violence and death, but had completely lost touch with social behaviors, including having sex or caring for their young.” Universe 25. The few secluded spaces housed a population Calhoun called, “the beautiful ones.” Generally guarded by one male, the females-and few males-inside the space didn’t breed or fight or do anything but eat and groom and sleep. Sometimes they’d drop and abandon a baby while they were carrying it. They’d move half their litter away from danger and forget the rest. Few females carried pregnancies to term, and the ones that did seemed to simply forget about their babies. They gathered in the main squares, waiting to be fed and occasionally attacking each other. In one of the reports of the experiment, it reported “At the peak population, most mice spent every living second in the company of hundreds of other mice. The overcrowding caused the mice, especially mother mice, to have heightened violent tendencies as territories and boundaries became obscure. It became so severe that half of the living space would be crammed up, while the other half would be left virtually untouched. Most mice relied heavily on social interactions, so much that they would refuse to eat unless in the presence of another mice. However, slightly less than a year later, behaviours turned grim. ![]() At first, the population of the mice boomed, as one would expect. Even nest for female mice were built so that the mother mice themselves would not need to lift a finger. He took 8 matured mice and placed them in a controlled environment that would resemble a mouse utopia, that is limitless food and water and ample living space with zero challenges, dangers and predators. Calhoun, an ethologist (a study on animal behaviours). Universe 25 was a behavioural experiment that was conducted by John B.
