A new study has revealed that people who smell like them may be more likely to become friends.
The study was led by Inbal Ravreby at the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS), in the city of Rehovot, Israel, on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.
Working at the institute’s Brain Sciences Department – run by Professor Noam Sobel – Ravreby and her colleagues found that people may have a tendency to form friendships with individuals who have a similar body odor.
