Do the different peoples within the white race have different body smell or are there only different smells between the races?

Answer 1

Yes, generally because of diet.

For example, British people are said to smell of dairy produce, because they consume alot of it. Or atleast more than other cultures.

Here is the ACTUAL answer.

many (likely most, definitely not all) people of African descent have a higher concentration of apocrine glands than other races as well has having apocrine glands that are larger. Conversely those of Asian descent (especially Japanese descent) have little, and in some cases no, apocrine glands. Now this is NOT the same as sweat glands. Though apocrine glands are a type of "sweat" gland, they do NOT respond to heat or physical exertion, which is what eccrine glands do. Apocrine glands respond primarily to situations of either high stress or arousal (need not be sexual, but that's included).

Apocrine glands contain a much higher level of volatile fats in them, which become very oderiferous when the bacteria in your skin metabolises them. Simply put, if you have three people stressing out in a line of Asian, caucasian and African descent you will see an escalatingly stronger smell out of each one respectively. Its the same smell, simply stronger. Asians frequently complain that white people smell.

I will repeat again that apocrine glands are not triggered (except in extreme heat situations) by temperature, so the whole "Africa is hot" theory is total rubbish. This is simply genetic similarities among certain groups lending some to different concentrations of glands. The idea that evolution has a 'purpose' or 'intelligent goal' is a fallacy, its completely randon and anything that doesnt hurt you has a possibility to become the norm if passed around the gene pool enough regardless of how random the gene is.

My personal theory here is this: you stop noticing the "race smell" of whatever race you deal with the most in your day to day. And will definitely not notice the smell of anyone who has less apocrine glands than your most frequently interacted with race. But if you come into contact with someone of a higher apocrine concentration that hasn't showered recently enough, you'll notice it. Problem solved.

Answer 2

Different people within the white race do have different body smells. There are different body smells and odors between all different people. Their race has nothing to do with their body smell.
