Importance of Sense of Smell
Our sense of smell is important to us in so many ways.  As well as warning us about dangers and risks, smell can also trigger emotions and memories deep within our brain.

Warns of Danger
Our sense of smell is often the first warning we get of imminent danger. This danger can be in many forms, such as a gas leak, a fire or alert us to the fact that something we are about to eat is rotten and may harm our health. Studies suggest that bad smells send pain signals to our brain to warn of danger.

Animals Well Developed Sense of Smell
Animals have a more developed sense of smell than humans in general, enabling them to find water sources and food as well as find a mate and track enemies or their pack.  They can even communicate by smell. Despite not having as finely developed a sense of smell as animals, humans can still detect about 10,000 different odours.

What We Can taste
As well as influencing what we can smell, our sense of smell heavily influences what we can taste.  Scientists believe that around 80% of our taste function is actually directly related to our ability to smell.  That explains why we cannot taste even spicy foods when we have a blocked nose, for example.  Our tongue can really only identify sweet, sour, bitter or salty tastes, everything else is related to our sense of smell.  People who have a permanent loss of the ability to smell have even been known to suffer depression because they cannot enjoy food the way others can.

Evolution
As we have evolved, the need for a keen sense of smell has, to some extent, diminished due to the lack of need to hunt and the reduced dangers of being attacked by other humans or animals.  That said,  we still derive a great deal of pleasure from smell in terms of eating and indeed the use of perfumes to scent the body.

Smell can also even evoke memories deeply rooted in our brains, as scientific studies have shown.  The above illustrates some of the main reasons why our sense of smell remains so important to us today.
