Research suggests that this enables humans to determine the suitability of potential partners based on age, in addition to other factors

If only there was some other way to tell if someone was old.

Hey man, you just never truly know unless you smell someone.

I've seen a study that suggested that there's a gland behind our ears that becomes more active as we grow older that could possibly be the source of that smell. If true, maybe older people just don't have the mobility to raise their hands above their shoulders or just don't wash often enough anymore. Either way, for the past decade or so I never skip washing behind my ears, just in case lol.
