The NY Times just reported that humans can track scents, much in the same way as dogs can.
("Humans Can Track Like Dogs… ," December 18)
According to the article, "Researchers at the University
of California, Berkeley, have found that people can follow a scent
surprisingly well, as long as they do not mind abandoning all dignity, putting
their nose right to the ground and crawling along with their bottoms in the
air."
First I thought this was funny, but then I realized, isn’t this something that the media (and more recently, citizen journalist bloggers) have proved they can do for years?!!!
