THE OLFACTORY PURPOSE OF THE Primal Handshake: (C At its evolutionary origins, handshaking might have also served to convey odor signals, and such signaling may still be a meaningful, albeit subliminal, component of this custom. 92 - Professor Noam Sobel, Weizmann Institute * Basically, handshaking may provide people with a socially acceptable way of communicating via smell, replacing a more obvious sniffing behavior. IN WEIZMANN INSTITUTE STUDIES, SUBJECTS HAD: 2x 2х- Longer time sniffing right hand after handshaking with the experiment moderator. More volume / more airflow inhaled when sniffing hand.
