That's right.

This is the thing that's distinctive about humans is we're not actually that particular about what particular behaviors we engage in, what motor behaviors.

And we're overwhelmingly interested in who our partner is, right?

That is an overriding concern that I don't think my rats have.

I think few animals do.

Here's the...

You're the anthropologist from Mars and I tell you, here's a person.

that 50%, here's, whoever's the sexiest man alive this year, People Magazine, I don't know who that happens to be.

Yes.

Well, whoever, let's say it's George Clooney.

So here's someone that half the planet believes is an ideal sexual partner, right?

But the other half of the planet finds him totally unacceptable, even if the behaviors they engaged in would be pretty much the same.

And so, you know, in terms of positions and who's doing what to whose genitalia, et cetera, I mean, for most people,

It isn't that there has to be one particular act.

I suppose there's some, but for most people, there may be a variety of acts that they want to be engaged in with that other person, and their overwhelming concern is the gender of that other person or the sex of that other person.

It's hard to have an animal model of that.

I actually do know one example in sheep.

if you want to talk about this.

Yes.

So Chuck Roselli out at Oregon, he's the one that studied this very carefully.
