The statement "Unlike other animals, humans do not seem to rely on smell or other olfactory cues in mating" is generally considered False.

Explanation:

1. Humans possess a sense of smell that can play a role in attraction, often referred to as the "chemosensory" aspects of attraction.
2. Studies suggest that pheromones, which are chemicals capable of triggering social responses in members of the same species, may influence human behavior and preferences unconsciously in various ways, including mating.
3. Additionally, the olfactory system is connected to the limbic system, which plays a significant role in emotional responses. This suggests that scents can affect emotional attraction and bonding.
4. Research has indicated that people may be subconsciously attracted to potential partners who have different immune system genes (evidenced through scent), enhancing the genetic diversity of offspring.

Thus, humans do utilize olfactory cues, albeit perhaps in a manner less pronounced than in many other animals.
