You seem to have misread something somewhere. Allow me to quote Rawling’s words directly:
As a result of testing on different body sites, anatomical site differences in skin functionality are responsible for the greater contradictory evidence between studies, e.g. between testing the volar forearm and the face. Studies are sometimes also not directly comparative due to the different geographical locations of where the study was conducted. Even within one country there can also be dramatic geographical differences in climate which will influence the structure and function of the skin as it adapts to that particular climate. Seasonal changes in skin composition also occur as reported by Rogers et al. [4] and stratum corneum (SC) barrier function and desquamatory properties acclimatize to different environments as reported by DeClercq et al. [5]. Blood circulating hormones also influence skin status, e.g. monthly changes in circulating sex hormones in women, and stress can induce changes in the levels of circulating stress hormones, e.g. cortisol which can affect skin structure and function in both short and long term. This has recently been exemplified by Choi et al. [6]. Circadian rhythms also occur that influence, in particular, sweat and sebum secretions [7, 8]. Naturally diet will have a big influence on skin composition and function [9]. Nevertheless, this review will summarize the differences that are reported in the literature.
It seems to me that you have no kind of substantial formal education in science ? Am I right?
(1) The block of text you have transcribed from the literature paper I cited is totally irrelevant with respect to the key issue at hand, namely,
apocrine bromhidrosis
Please explain why you posted it.

Several papers suggest that there are differences in the number of sweat glands between different racial groups. However, when measuring sweat gland functionality, acclimatization needs to be taken into consideration as this will influence the onset and type of sweating process. Thus there is probably a greater density of actively sweating glands in the tropics rather than real differences in gland numbers. Differences in electrolyte content may occur where Negroids do not resorb as much sodium chloride as Caucasians. Apart from this no other compositional differences are reported but they are highly likely to occur.
(2) "Sweat glands" ( or "eccrine" glands) are
not apocrine glands. Thus the block of text above is also completely irrelevant to the issue at hand.
Please explain why you posted it. It seems to me that there are only to possible reasons (a) pure scientific ignorance, or (b) basic stupidly. Am I right ?

Perspiration itself actually has no odor. It’s only when sweat encounters bacteria on the skin that a smell can emerge. Other than body odor (BO), bromhidrosis is also known by other clinical terms, including osmidrosis and bromidrosis.
(3) Please correct me if I am mistaken, but I think you will find I clearly explicated in my post how it was the action of bacteria on apocrine gland secretions that was responsible for apocrine bromhidrosis ( which is the chief source the malodorous stench of what we call "body odor". Given this the passage of text you have quoted above is superfluous.
Please explain why you cited it.

There are some very early studies in this area which indicate that Black subjects have larger apocrine glands and in greater numbers than Caucasians and Chinese. They can be as much as three times greater in Negroid subjects. There is also a greater proportion of secretion of apocrine fluid by black subjects; secretions were more turbid and had a different odor.
The apo
crine gland is a somewhat forgotten gland which develops at puberty from the eccrine gland. It is present in the axilla, per‐anal regions and on the face particularly in the nasal skin. Its fluid does contain some lipid but it is mainly water and electrolyte. However, it is a much bigger gland and is reported to secrete at 10× the rate of the eccrine gland. Again these are found in greater number in black vs. white facial skin. In the axilla these glands are reported to represent up to 45% of the glands present and they secrete fluid directly on the skin surface unlike apocrine glands.
(4) Here (by some miracle/ random chance) we actually have a relevant quotation from the literature article I cited in my post. Hooray !! But unfortunately it says nothing over and above the information I include in my original post on "Ape Stink"?
Given this, please explain why you felt the need to re-cite the information?
Let me "cut to the chase" now and simply ask you whether or not you had any idea at all of what you were hoping to achieve by posting the irrelevant/superficial/unnecessary sections of text from the scientific paper I cited in my post on the uncommon stink of body odor that is characteristically associated with Black sub-Saharan Negros. As I said above, it appears to me we are dealing here with either scientific ignorance or rank stupidity. Am I right ?
Finally, if you are able to muster the requisite skills, you will find - if you can manage to use the search engine on your computer imaginatively/ intelligently- ( I'll keep my fingers crossed for you
) that there are literally countless pieces of anecdotal evidence accessible from legion individuals all over the world confirming that the have indeed found that Blacks Sub-Saharans Negros emit a strong ,and distinctively unpleasant, kind of "body odor" stench. Or, to put it in more simple terms for you: lots... of ...people... from... different... places... all... over... the... world... have noticed... for... literally... centuries... to... date... that... Black... Africans... tend... to... stink.
They just do. Do you geddit ,BG ? Has the "penny dropped" old sport, or would you like Uncle Dachshund to draw a nice little picture to help
you understand ?
