Women generally have a more acute sense of smell than men, which is attributed to biological and evolutionary factors. Research suggests that women have a higher density of olfactory receptors and a greater number of olfactory bulb neurons, enhancing their ability to detect and differentiate scents. Additionally, hormonal influences, particularly estrogen, may play a role in modulating olfactory sensitivity. This heightened sense of smell may have evolved to aid in activities such as nurturing and foraging.
