Scientists have noted a number of things that almost universally elicit disgust among humans: bodily wastes and fluids, wounds, dead bodies, certain animals, spoiled food, and people with poor hygiene. All of these relate to a risk of exposure to infections - so since feces tend to have elements of all these we seem to have developed an aversion to the smell (think it stinks) as a defense mechanism to avoid infection.
