Body odour does hinder reproduction, though.
But it doesn't though. Before people bathed consistently, everyone smelled. It wouldn't have been a factor in partner selection.
This is pretty presumptuous, as there appears to be a lot we can pick up about potential mates based on their body odor.
I'm absolutely not an anthropologist, but if we evolved in small <100 person communities, often settling near water, I'd imagine keeping everyone relatively stank-free wouldn't have been impossible.
