Makes sense. Seems like a vestigial part of our bodies, but since our scent over time has lessened, the advantages remain questionable.

Indeed, at this point it's likely one of those things that evolution has backburner'd for the time being, since it doesn't have as much of a noticeable impact on continuation of the species anymore. Not needed enough to improve it, not detrimental enough to remove it.

Our scent has lessened over time? You've never sat on a commuter bus next to a nigger apparently.

Oh, I see, our (humans) scent has decreased. Sub-humans still stink like the filthy animals they are.
