Aug. 17th, 2002 12:51 amJust found an interesting article on the subject of human pheromones.
I'm sure you've seen the ads on the Internet to buy human pheromones, and you might think this is just another hoax in similar vein…except that this article is not trying to sell anything, and it dates from about twenty-five years ago, in 1978.
It's funny; we like to think that we're beyond the influence of pheromones—that we're completely rational creatures. And yet, if the article is to be believed, experiments have shown that it's not necessarily so.
Still, I have to wonder…in the time since this article, has anybody debunked this theory?
