We have to brush our teeth more because we eat a ton of sugar, and we get acne/blackheads largely because of lots of oil in our diet – neither of these things were true for your average caveman.
I don’t know if it’s true that we get any stinkier than another animal if we don’t bathe. Animals *reek*. We’re just always in close proximity with lots of people, and houses don’t have as many other smells to cover it. We also have much higher standards for appearance than your average wild animal (or caveman).
We do sweat all over our bodies though, which furred animals don’t do. That can make you real stinky.
