Despite advances in research, some aspects of the human body remain a mystery.
A recent study suggests that humans can subconsciously sense when death is
near by detecting putrescine, a foul odor released during decomposition.
Researchers Arnaud Wisman and Ilan Shira found that like animals, humans respond
to this scent by moving away, signaling a survival instinct. Though people are
unaware of the odor and its connection to death, exposure to it triggers
subconscious reactions, such as increased vigilance and avoidance, unlike the attraction caused by s*x pheromones
