I have to agree with quiet a few dissenters. The pool is too small to have shown anything conclusive.
But if you could show conclusive evidence, a Conservative/Religious Zealot will doubt the claim saying that the study was slanted towards that goal. I've argued the point before with a former Methodist preacher.
And when you possibly wear away them on this issue, they then say that because man has a soul, he is better than the animals, and as such should control his animalistic desires (this is how sex got demonized).
These studies, though well intended, still make arguing with a brick wall, arguing with a brick wall. It's just this time the wall has a nice coating of plaster.
