本文综述了近年来有关人类通过体臭传递基本同种生物信息的研究。除了评估人类可以从嗅觉线索中检测个性，性别和生殖状态的报告外，声称气味参与产生月经同步和其他现象的研究也受到了严格的审查。虽然解剖学和行为学研究都支持人类有能力通过气味传达生物信息的观点，但还需要更多的研究来确定气味在影响人类基本行为中的作用。在充分解释这一领域的许多发现之前，迫切需要使用几种类型的气味和双盲程序进行适当的控制。
The present review examines recent studies related to the ability ofHomo sapiensto communicate basic conspecific biologic information via body odors. In addition to evaluating reports that humans can detect individuality, gender, and reproductive state from olfactory cues, studies claiming that odors are involved in producing menstrual synchrony and other phenomena are also critically examined. Although both anatomic and behavioral studies support the notion that humans have the ability to communicate biologic information via odors, additional studies are needed to establish the role of odors in influencing basic human behaviors. Appropriate controls using several types of odors and double-blind procedures are sorely needed before a number of findings in this field can be adequately interpreted.
