ent and allowed his studies to be inconclusive. His research seems to claim that all of the homosexual subjects had smaller INAH3s than the heterosexual subject. In actuality three of the homosexual subjects had larger INAH3s that the heterosexuals. Additionally, three of the heterosexual subjects had smaller INAH3s than the average homosexual(Dallas 112). In response to these reported inconsistencies, Dr. John Ankerberg of the Ankerberg Theological Research Institute notes, 17 percent of his total study group- contradicted his own theory(Dallas 112)It is also unclear whether or not brain structure even affects behavior or vise versa. Dr. Kenneth Klivington, also of the SALK Institute acknowledges, neurons can change response to experience. You could also postulate that the brain change occurs throughout life, as a consequence to experience. Dr. Lewis Baxter of UCLA concludes that behavior therapy can produce changes in brain circuitry. This backs up the idea that behavior can be the reason for change in brain structure (Dallas 112).George Ebers of the University of Western Ontario later, with similar investigations, contradicted Hamers research. He examined fifty-two pairs of homosexual brothers and found, no evidence for a linkage of homosexuality to markers on the X chromosome or elsewhere (Dallas 116) Ebers also studied four hundred families, with one or more homosexual males, in regard to Hamers theory of mother-to-son transmission. In response he states, no evidence for the X-link posited by Hamer (Dallas 117)Again, like LeVays work, there are also flaws in the research of Pillard and Bailey. One problem with the experiment is that all the twins were raised in the same household. This runs into the problem of environment. If all the twins were raised in the same household, they live with the same experiences, same parents, and same day-to-day affairs. Joe Dallas, the author of A Strong Delusion, claims that, If the twins were r...
