BTW, forgot to mention that there is a profound difference between sebaceous
glands which are at least partially adapted due to aquaticness (which would
be those in some seals, for instance) and those in humans and other primates
as well as most mammals where they are scent producers (a function they also
serve in seals). This is that when due to aquaticness, they are fully
functional at the age when the mammal takes to water, while in others they
aren't fully functional, if at all, until puberty, and the latter is what we
find in humans and other primates. Again, that magic time puberty, which
does a lot more than hint at sexual selection and a function related to
sex -- except for the blind out there (and you know who they are, even if
they don't. :).
