Human Pheromones Affect Women's Behavior
For Richard L. Doty: Epigenetic effects help to dispel the psychological construct that the pheromones of any species from insects to mammals uniquely determine genetically predisposed social context-dependent endocrine responses or behavior in an invariant way.
A lesser role for olfaction and pheromones in humans?
There is no scientific support for statements about brain size and complexity that challenge the known importance either of food odors or of social odors to mammalian behavior.
Creating a Myth
Dr. Richard L. Doty markets smell tests and smell testing equipment at smelltest.com. He is not familiar with the accurate conceptualization of mammalian pheromones.
Study results: Human pheromones influence human behavior
Our mixture characterizes species-specific human pheromones, their epigenetic effects on physiology, and their affect on behavior.
Pheromones in birds, other mammals, and us
Avian/bird pheromones exist
The Emperor of Scent (revisited)
It takes many years to gain acceptance — even of the most obvious of new concepts. No matter the logic, the concept could still be wrong. And who is willing to risk their academic reputation by siding with someone who might be wrong? If he’s right, however, there’s always time to begin support — when others do so.
The great pheromone myth revisited (including biological factors in the development of sexuality)
…pheromones associated with the testosterone levels of men affect women’s level of attraction and men’s sexual success. This substantiates my formulation of human pheromone-enhanced fragrance products for men.

Social selection: genetic contribution of viruses to life on earth
Social selection allows for what most people refer to as natural selection.
Dogs and humans: Then and now
Comparisons of the olfactory abilities of dogs to humans fail to mention our increased ability to process olfactory/pheromonal input. Bigger brains allow better processing.
