      What is the function of pheramones in human females?

      As much as I remember this is something that is discussed. Someone -I don’t remember who- said that pheramones are inactive in human. Or did I get it wrong?

      Maybe you can try asking in the existing topic.
      Thanks

      I said that. What i said is that most are inactive, not all. it is still not known whether the few still active that send impulses to the hypothalamus and arhicortex are enough to influence the "decisions" of the neocortex

      Seems like the transmiter is turned off but apparently the reciever still works……otherwise the perfume counter at Dillards would not be so LARGE.

      What evolution has dismissed replace with "MY SIN" or "ENGLISH LEATHER".

      well, there is a difference between a smell that we like and a pheromone

      There is no evidence for human pheromones. First, you must show that they exist. Then, you can characterize them.

      There is a cult of scientists who assume pheromones, but if you read carefully, you will see that they admit my first paragraph is true.

      leave it to the perfume industries, their products are just as powerful.
