Only Five Senses
■■■■■
● FeaturedFrom childhood, we're taught the 'five senses' (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell), and many remember this as the definitive and exhaustive list of human senses.
●
What People Remember
People vividly recall being taught that humans possess strictly five senses and no more.
◉
What's Actually True
While the traditional five are primary, humans have many more senses, including proprioception (body position), nociception (pain), thermoception (temperature), equilibrioception (balance), and interoception (internal bodily sensations).
