Pretty sure I read about a study where they found people that “stink” are genetically close to you, like relatives and people you shouldn’t procreate with.
Eh… best lit review I could find only found that smell predicted preferences among non-birthcontrol-using fertile women. So… Smell nice around them maybe?

People who smell nice are genetically diverse.

I went to school with an inbred family, they all stank bad. Natures way of saying don’t fuck that

Maybe not a product of being inbred in and of itself, but more like an intelligence indicator maybe? Correlation ≠ causation etc.
