| | Lyall Watson's: Jacobson's Organ: And the Remarkable Nature of Smell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) |
 | | Watson organizes his thesis around the seven broad classes of smells identified by pioneering naturalist Carolus Linnaeus: floral, goatish, musky, foul, nauseating, spicy, and garlicky. |
 | | Watson says that plants, animals and people give off odorless molecules, called pheromones, that are detected by Jacobson's organ and then passed along to the brain, where they cause contentment, fear and, most notably, sexual attraction. |
 | | Watson lists his training as a naturalist, evolutionary biologist and anthropologist; deeper researches suggest he directed the Johannesburg Zoo, may be currently unaffiliated and writes about nature from a cottage on a cliff in Ireland. |
