> A summary of the results of this study suggests that humans are indeed able to smell their conspecifics’ fear, and can tell a difference between “fear” and “non-fear” from body odours. It seems likely that this olfactory signal could be a “pheromone”, as it is hard to think of other plausible biological explanations for its production.
