Genetic sexual attraction

Genetic sexual attraction is a hypothesis that attraction may be a product of genetic similarities.[1]: 200 While there is scientific evidence for the position,[1]: 200  some commentators regard the hypothesis as pseudoscience.[2] The term is also used for a phenomenon in which biologically related persons separated at a young age develop intense feelings—including sexual attraction—upon the restoration of contact.[3][4][5][6]
