definitely something magic about smell.

not only did it evolve earlier, but it's the only sense directly connected to our limbic system. probably quite advantageous to form strong memories around rotten foods or sweet honey. funny how "friend's house-smell" can be one of those. i have a strong association between chocolate cake and my grandpa's old house.
