The olfactory system, which originated millions of years ago, evolved to detect small changes in the chemical composition of the environment and thereby serve as a protective mechanism. Such a use remains operative today by enabling us to smell telltale odorants that may precede such things as an explosion secondary to a gas leakage.

Have you ever sat across from someone who you felt was challenging or having a funny reaction to you? These are emotional reactions that are probably not fully under conscious control. Otherwise, you would probably just be amused by other people's quirks and reactions and not "feel" any particular way about them. (And, no, I am not saying to ignore your serial killer vibes-if you get those, run away!)
