Does our perception of smell or taste change over time through evolution?

>changing taste perceptions
Identifying edible stuff. Cats lack the receptors for sweetness because they have no use for it.
There are also human "supertasters" who can identify bitter compounds that are associated with toxic plants, they have more taste buds than non-tasters.
So yes, taste can change through evolution.
