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
