The mutualism between chemical cues emitted into the air and variations in how primates respond to them using olfaction has demonstrated aspects of species‐specific adaptations. Building on this mutualism we can look at particle deposition as another means to understanding how various environments may have elicited biological changes that enable efficient communication. Research on particle movement and deposition within the nasal cavity is largely based on questions about health as it relates to drug delivery systems and overall olfactory function in modern humans. With increased access to 3D models and the use of computational fluid dynamic analysis, researchers have been able to simulate site‐specific deposition, to determine what particles are making it through the nasal cavity to the main olfactory epithelium, which ultimately leads to processing in the olfactory bulb. Here we discuss particle deposition research, sensory drive and their potential applications to evolutionary anthropology.

颗粒沉积和感觉驱动。

释放到空气中的化学线索与灵长类动物利用嗅觉对它们的反应方式之间的相互关系已经证明了特定物种适应的各个方面。在这种共生关系的基础上,我们可以将粒子沉积视为了解各种环境如何引发生物变化以实现有效沟通的另一种方式。鼻腔内颗粒运动和沉积的研究主要基于有关健康的问题,因为它与现代人类的药物输送系统和整体嗅觉功能有关。随着越来越多地使用3D模型并使用计算流体动力学分析,研究人员已经能够模拟特定部位的沉积物,以确定是什么颗粒使其通过鼻腔到达主要的嗅觉上皮细胞,最终导致嗅球中的处理。在这里,我们讨论了粒子沉积研究,感觉驱动及其在进化人类学中的潜在应用。
