Abstract
A biologist who studies aggression in mice might ask, ″What can an analysis of limerence in homosexual men tell me about why castrated, but not gonadally intact, male mice attack lactating females ?″ (Haug & Brain, 1978). I realize that it is more common for the student of human behaviour to ask the obverse question; nonetheless, the question is legitimate.
