I can Google too. Discovery Health "What do men find attractive about a woman's smell?" I like how on the article it said... "Even animals and insects emit pheromones -- which probably explains how they manage to procreate without verbal cues. (Imagine a dragonfly saying, "How ya doin'?")" and you added your own touch by saying... "( I can just imagine a male Lion going...soo...sweatheart...you ovulating or should I do it with another minx tonight?)."
It makes sense that we've evolved to smell when a woman is ovulating, because that's the time she's fertile. But when she's on her period is the complete opposite of that so it's hard for me to see how knowing about it has any evolutionary value.
Could be, but if we're saying it's pheromones....pheromones are used to communicate, plain and simple. If there's no message that needs communicating, there will be no pheromones. Same with the ability to sense said pheromones, in males. That's kinda how evolution works. What it could be though is what's called a "spanner" - something that is a side effect of an adaptation, which has no evolutionary value itself but sorta comes as a package deal, due to biological limitations, with something that does. In other words, if we wanna smell when they're ovulating we unfortunately also get stuck being able to smell the opposite.
According to cracked, men can sense ovulation in women. So yes, men can probably subtly detect if a woman is having her period. To some degree of course. The 5 Weirdest Sixth Senses Humans Have (Without Knowing It) | Cracked.com
