Do humans only have five senses, or do we have more?

Question

We all know the basic five senses (sight, hearing, taste, touch, smell). But do humans have more than five senses? Do we have six senses or more? Before answering "no, only five", close your eyes, turn off the TV or radio, and think about what else you sense.

Answer 1

In addition to the classical 5 senses we can sense temperature, pain and equilibrium (balance). We also have coutless other senses which work subconsciously to keep us alive (water, sugar, salt balance).

Answer 2

More Than 5 Senses

Answer 3

More Than Five Senses

Answer 4

We have more than 5 - but 5 is the "normal"

number that any of us have, or rather are aware of. It' skinda like the speed limit. It's not there for seasoned drivers, who can handle their car at hgher speeds. When you see a speed limit, it is the fastest that ANY MORON with a license can safely drive. Most people can perceive 5 senses. Others can go further.

Answer 5

Some blind people have the ability to sense the presence of something before them. I've heard that everyone has that sense, but we just don't need as much as a blind person does, so we do not develop it very well.



In Indian Philosophy, we have 6 senses, the 5 you mention, as well as mind.

Answer 6

When we die we lose all our senses but another sense is added that is not physical. We go to live in a different place. Some people will say that they can communicate with it. They are called Spiritualists and they can tell you things that only you can tell if they are true. Why listen to others experiences when you can experience your own?

Answer 7

People who have five senses are normal. Some may have 6th sense. But that doesn't mean people with 6th sense are abnormal. They are just extraordinary. ^_^

Answer 8

i believe we have 6 the 6th sense is called perception

Answer 9

we have way more than five its just we dont know how to use them until we loose one of our primary senses then thats when we know there are others.

Answer 10
