        I’ll pretend like this is a real question and reply as a biologist. It’s possible both homosexuality and the propensity to engage in abortion/infanticide have potential fitness benefits in some scenarios (See: kin selection), meaning they can fit in an evolutionary framework.

        Infanticide is most commonly exhibited in mammals during regime change of a dominant male within a harem. Eg new dominant male lion will kill off offspring of previous male. Similar in baboons, mice. Homosexuality has a social status benefit in matriarchal bonobo chimp societies.
