And in the end, the point is to make a better quality immune system in the baby.

Ah, so I think it's changed our understanding of humans in that we're not consciously aware of odour.

But we're very unconsciously aware of odour.

So it affects us enormously.

It brings back memories to us instantly.

But we don't necessarily think that we're influenced by it.

So perhaps what we know now about primates and other mammals has influenced what we know about humans.

In a way, possibly.

But there are other ways in which we also can pick up on our genes.

So one is in the odour that we have on our body.

Another is in the mouth when we kiss, for example.

So you might wear some fabulous perfume that is created to attract the opposite sex, but it

It won't take you as far as kissing.

We see lots of different sexual behaviours, so definitely, yes, both across species and within species.

And also, simply, diversity of partner choice.

So we have sexual behaviour between males and females, between males and males, between females and females...

In some species, like bonobo, it's famous for involving all the different age classes too, which we don't do as humans, or at least legally we don't do as humans.

I suspect that monkeys don't need that sort of accessory in the way that bonobos might, I don't know, because they have their own accessories, like they have bright red noses and blue stripes on their cheeks and colourful genitalia.

Maybe they don't need a rat on their head.

Thank you for that.
