According to a report, although dogs have long been celebrated for their ability to sense human emotion, making them man's best friend, new research has found they are not the only ones. A new study has uncovered that horses possess the same skill, specifically smelling human fears. Researchers from the University of Tours in France found that when horses were exposed to scent samples from humans experiencing fear, they became more reactive.
The horses had elevated heart rates and were more hesitant to approach handlers compared with reactions triggered by scents linked to positive emotions. Similar to dogs, horses in the study detected chemical signals released in human sweat during emotional states. These chemosignals are made up of volatile compounds that change when a person is stressed or anxious.
While dogs developed the ability through domestication, the researchers suggested horses' ability is tied to survival, as the animals are hard-wired to notice signs of danger in their environment.
One of these days I'm gonna figure out how to get in to this whole study/research biz. Evidently, there must be a shitload of money in it if people are getting paid to 'study' silly shit like this. Where do we apply?
