I notice that the article ignores the research showing that females prefer the scent of symmetrical males, or the new research showing that males prefer the scent of menstruating females. Although neither show direct evidence for pheremones, they do provide data relevant to the debate. And having read the research on menstrual synchrony, I can say that the article dismisses the phenomenon too easily.
