Choosing a Partner:The subconscious ceience

    US soprano , referring to the marriage of jacqueline Kennendy to Aristotle Onassis,Maria Callas's ex-lover.
    Now,when it comes to choose a partner with the best possible genes as these genes will be passed on to our children and ensure that they are healthy.Therefore,we naturally seek out somebody with an immune system different from our own.Additionally,it is important to find a mate whose genes are also similar enough to our own to pass on a tried and tested immune system. Is this the reason we fancy those who remind us of our parents perhaps? When we are attrected to another person,it could be because we subconsciousky like their genes. 
     How do we do this?We simply seek and sniff out that person.Imagine an invisible overwhelming force that overpowers reason and invites passion.A force that dictates where Cupid's arrow will land.Cupid's chemistry.That's the power of pheromones.Pheromones are 'smellprints',supposedly as uniuqe as our fingerprints.Small is the most primitive of human senses,and pheromones,present in underarm perspitive, are detected by a small organ composed of a few small pits a few centimetres up the nose.The emotional reaction they provoke can,quite literally, be a 'turn on'!
     We come to end of our rather interesting journey on that most powerful of emotions.The feeling which has , in history,turned brother against brother,friend against friend,and entire civilisations against each other.To surrender to its power would be undertaking a rocky journey,to ignore it would be accepting an incomplete human existence.
