  • poor olfaction

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 3 02:55:40 2023
    Only incredible idiots believe that we evolved a reduced olfaction as an adaptation to hunt antelopes on the savanna.

    The human sense of smell: are we better than we think? https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.0020146

    As anthropoid primates we were never macrosmotic.
    Hunting in early Homo would have relied on vision and cognition.

    No. No we are not.

    There's no question here: Go sniff some cheerleaders seat, and don't try
    to hide what you're doing this time, and then track down that cheerleader.

    You can't. You don't have anywhere near the sense of smell that a dog
    has... or a bear.. rhino... you just don't. STOP ignoring what you know,
    what you experience in favor of what your high priests order you to believe.

    Why are there so many products to cover up or remove smell?

    Because we DO have a good sense of smell.

    You're pretending there's a binary where we either can't smell
    anything or we have a fantabulous sense of smell:

    Fantastic + Fabulous = Fantabulous!

    Another way of putting it: You, sir, and an idiot.

    Any dumber and I might suspect that you authored Biden's
    foreign policy...
