I will take the expert's word on the subject. That hat tells me he knows what he's talking about

Okay so I normally lurk, but I think it's possible to add interesting context. What Oz said is legit in a general scientific sense. Studies have found women might have evolved an ability to avoid incest by smell. Studies have shown daughters truly are disgusted by the smell of direct male relatives.

Not saying Oz isn't a creep or a weirdo. But I'd lean towards that quote being taken out of context without knowing more.

Those studies have way to few participants to have any real value.
