Fear of Phermones;Article 2

The author of this article argues that humans make phermones. Phermones are a chemical factor that triggers a social response in members of the same species. I agree with the author because he supports his claim with concrete data. The author claims that humans "have folds of skin here and there designed for the controlled nurture of bacteria", which basically means that we have the ability to produce phermones and house them to our own advantage. Another support stated that women that lived in closed quarters had "spontaneous synchronization of their menstrual cycles" which contributes to the author's claim that humans have spontaneous abilities, including the ability to make phermones. The author asserts that although the possibility is quite low and unattractive, it is going to become true in the future.
