They did a very similar study in humans, and humans also are drawn to other humans that have these differences. So it's interesting, especially with the immune system. There was a study where I think they had people smell sweaty T-shirts of members of the opposite sex if they were heterosexual to see how attracted they felt to the person just based on the smell of their sweaty T-shirt.

And people were more drawn to people who had very different immune systems than their own. So I think this is something, you know, we see it in mice and it's easy to say, oh, you know, it's their animals. Of course they do that, but we do it as humans too.
