Seems like a technicality. By that logic, all stinky things are caused by living things instead of dead things.


Maybe not ALL stinky things. But apparently humans evolved to be sensitive to, and repulsed by the the secretions of some bacteria, because the ones who weren't died pretty early.


Yeah, that was also a very early thing to evolve. So much that the ones that evolved it hardly could be called humans at all.
