Assignment: Take one of the three articles given to you. Do you agree or disagree with the author? Use the text to support your argument.
In " A Fear of Pheromones" by Lewis Thomas, he explains how people in the twentieth century feared that "we have pheromones" Little did they know that now in the 2000's scientists have recorded and still continue to examine pheromones living inside of us. "Most of the known pheromones are small, simple molecules, active in extremely small concentrations." I find it very interesting the fish have chemical signals that help then identify other fish species that have passed through the waters before them just by sensing their smell. I agree that people are not really interested in pheromones and are more concentrated on how to "get energy from the sun." When this article was published the invention of solar panels and other Eco-friendly inventions had not appeared until the 21st century. Now that pheromones are being well known, people are starting to research about them more and as a result this will help the earth and the life of humans in the long run.
