The article at the following URL may be far too technical for most people to understand. www2.hu-berlin.de/sexology/BIB/kohl.htm
It is, however, the definitive text for showing that humans, like all other species on the planet that sexually reproduce, produce and respond to pheromones. At the time of it's publication, this journal article/book chapter was tempered with caveats because no human pheromones had yet been shown to affect human behavior. The article won an award:
James V. Kohl received the Ira and Harriet Reiss Theory Award for 2007 from the Foundation for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (FSSS). The award is given annually for the best social science article, chapter, or book published in the previous year in which theoretical explanations of human sexual attitudes and behaviors are developed. "The Mind's Eyes: Human Pheromones, Neuroscience, and Male Sexual Preferences" was published in the Journal of Psychology & Human Sexuality, 18(4): 313-369, and concurrently published as a book chapter in the "Handbook of the Evolution of Human Sexuality." In conjunction with the award, Kohl was an invited plenary session speaker at the annual meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (SSSS) in November, 2007, which was held in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Beginning in 2007, my colleagues and I have presented results from a series of studies that show human pheromones affect flirtatious behavior in women and increase their self-reported level of attraction. If our results are independently replicated we will publish in a peer-reviewed journal.
What else can I help you with?
What kinds of things do humans detect humans through pheromones?
Humans can detect sexual attraction through pheromones.
Can a human body produce pheromone?
Pheromones are naturally excreted chemicals by both humans and animals that cause a response by others of the species. The most widely known are those related to attracting the opposite sex but may others are produced.
What are the main types of human pheromones?
There are four types of pheromones in humans: Releaser pheromones, Primer pheromones, Signaller pheromones and Modulator pheromones. These hormones have roles in a wide range of human functions including sexual attraction and the transmission of information.
Chemicals that animals produce for communication?
pheromones .
Which glands secrete pheromones?
Sweat glands secrete pheromones in humans. Pheromones are naturally secreted. A persons specific pheromones are often attractive to another person.
What chemicals do animals produce for communication?
Pheromones, mostly.
Do pheromones exist in humans, and if so, what role do they play in human behavior and communication?
Yes, pheromones exist in humans and play a role in behavior and communication. Pheromones are chemical signals that can influence emotions, attraction, and social interactions. While their effects in humans are not as pronounced as in other animals, research suggests that pheromones may still play a subtle role in human behavior and communication.
Do humans give off pheromones like dogs or cats do?
Yes, they do.
Do pheromones affect humans?
Pheromones are chemical signals that trigger a social response in members of the same species. While research on human pheromones is ongoing, there is evidence to suggest that they may play a role in human behavior, particularly in attraction and mate selection. However, the extent of their influence and specific mechanisms in humans are still not fully understood.
What pheromones produce by what ants keep army ants on the march?
Army ants are the name given to several species of aggressive ants. The worker ants produce pheromones to keep army ants marching.
Why do humans have underarm hair?
Humans have underarm hair as a remnant of our evolutionary past when it helped regulate body temperature and release pheromones.
Can dogs smell things humans can smell?
Pheromones are naturally occurring chemicals excreted by animals and humans alike. Although the usefulness of human pheromones is much reduced because of modern hygiene practices, they are produced by all humans.
