1) Humans have lots of olfactory genes inactivated as compared to chimps:

chimps: equally impossible to understand in a savanna milieu, but to be
expected when soft food was important.

good examples of the aat bias - bla bla on something totally unrelated.

Your intelligence is luckily not my problem.
Only idiots claim that you have to reduce olfaction & mastication to become
better carnivores.
