a fear of pheromones

In this article we speak of the "what if's" of pheromones. Questions like "what are we going to do if turns out that we have pheromones?"(16)questinos human ability to determine whether pheromones are good for us humans or not. The author mentions many organisms that depend on pheromones like female mosses who are able to "attract a trillion males at the instant."(17) So if organisms need pheromones to survive therefor he asks; is it necessary for humans to have pheromones? I agree with the author because humans prove to be able to produce and maintain pheromones to their advanatage.Not only humans prove this to be true but dogs also prove that humans are more than able to produce pheromones for a positive aspects of life. Humans not only use them to their advantage but many other organisms do it as well. Perhaps by producing pheromones humans will thrive even more than they have until now.
