Pretty sure they get up to all sorts of rape and paedophilia and incest too. This might be a nice fact, but penguins are dirty bitches and certainly no behavioural gold standard.

I don’t think anyone but you has even remotely implied there’s some overall gold standard presented by penguin behavior. Simply the fact that other species have homosexuals, and those pairs can raise a “family” successfully.

  I didn’t imply they were a gold standard. I just remarked that they certainly weren’t, which is very different.
