By the way, a bear's sense of smell is 7x greater than a bloodhounds or 2100x greater than ours. https://sectionhiker.com/bears_sense_of_smell/
So your suggestion that the human nose is unparalleled in the natural world is completely incorrect. If anything, I'll bet lots of early humans suffered from food poisoning from eating rotten meat. |
I never said we have the best nose in the animal kingdom....what I said...and is well researched.. is that the human nose has a special adaptation for sniffing out inedible meat...far better than any other species....the fact that we scavenged along with being a hunting species is well documneted
