Interesting piece about number of apocrine glands by racial lines.

The link is nearly 10 years old and comes across as an opinion rather than science, the writer also contradicts himself/herself.
Firstly he states, black people sweat more than white people, cos they are originally from tropical areas, which doesn’t explain, why somebody from Singapore(Asian),Australia(white/aboriginal), Greece or parts of American have not developed these glands or DNA which make them sweat more and smell
The writer explains, Asians have more of the smell gland, than white people, but smell and sweat less. He claims the smell gland is non existent or underdeveloped in Asians, hence they have the least body odour
The writer also doesn’t state if there is any difference in the smell glands of Asian people and black people, which considering what is being written about is a huge omission.
The author does not back up anything with science or other variables, just a comparison of glands that he/she thinks is appropriate in determining levels of sweat and body odour. I wish the writer explained why, Rafa Nadal(white) sweats more than Serena Williams(black) while playing tennis
He/she also said in the end, he has a good nose for smell and has not detected the trend he/she was writing about. He/she also said, one had to sweat like a pig, for such detection to be made. I guess punters, that detected the unique smell, with black WGs, must have had, one hell of a workout
