A fascinating study has found that sniffing female tears significantly reduced male aggression and decreased activity in aggression-related brain networks. It’s suggested that the effect, which is caused by chemical signals in tears and is also seen in rodents, serves a protective function.
How… uhh… yea like how did someone even come up with this as a thing to uhhh… study? How the shit did someone’s brain arrive at “let’s get women’s tears and uhhh present them to aggressive men.” Like… what?
The only difference between a scientific experiment and screwing around is writing it down.
Someone observed something odd in the wild and decided to investigate further and stumbled upon this effect. Largely similar to most other discoveries?
