Olfactory receptors and human emotion

This circuit was made with the notion of communication between plants and light.( with thanks to Diana Burgoyne and Brian Harris).  The plant will grow up and over the circuit and make it sing. Are there plant/insect/animal receptors that catch the emanations of human emotion? What of human to human signaling?

We’re finding differences and sameness in science and art: creativity and repetition.

Are receptors bound up with time? What will this period smell of in 50 years time? If we look back on us would our signals be imbued with anxiety or woud they be similar as those from all ages—we have the same concerns of finding and making food and shelter.

What would we preserve from this era that would indicate the signals that humans are emitting through skin and respiration.

Are we laying down trails of information for each other like ants—the ribbons and plumes of information that are taken up into receptors?
