Subjective. Without more in depth studying of this it is not clear that this is anything more than a statistical bump. > After you posted the article with incorrect information that humans can't > detect pheromones, It didn't say that humans can't detect pheromones. let me quote for you: " The research, undertaken by Assistant Professor Jianzhi Zhang from the University of Michigan in the USA, involved a comparison of the genes of primates that can see colour and those that can't. It seems that males developing colour vision negated the need for pheromones to attract mates. " ... " But humans and other primates only have remnant VNOs, so they have no or very little ability to detect pheromones. " The article which I posted contained NO incorrect information. > Jan said it was incorrect, you told Jan he was wrong, and > I posted an article that showed he wasn't.
