This isn't just about work, but it's one of the top things it applies to: In general, would you say you're more likely to arrive early to stuff, or show up a little late?
Over 2,000 people were polled, and very few said they're someone who shows up late a lot. Only one in eight people said they often don't show up on time. 12% said they're usually late . . . 64% said early . . . 20% said right on time . . . and 4% weren't sure.
Young people were twice as likely to admit they can't get to things on time . . . 24% admitted they're late a lot. And in general, the older you get, the less likely you are to be late for stuff. Only 5% of seniors said they generally show up a little late.

"Nonhuman terrestrial mammals constantly sniff themselves and each other and, based on this, decide who is friend or foe," wrote a group of researchers led by Inbal Ravreby at Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
Since people seek friends who are similar to themselves, the team hypothesized that humans may smell themselves and others to subconsciously estimate body odor similarity and judge their compatibility.
