Mini: How Many Senses Do We Have?

from Why We Do What We Do · host Abraham

Then, we have a number of sense so large it doesn't make any sense (pun intended). But, we'll get into some of the senses that can be reasonably argued to exist to paint a picture of how many potentially overlooked "senses" we might have.Join us on Patreon!Links and References: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260208233832.htmhttps://www.sciencealert.com/humans-may-actually-have-over-30-senses-scientists-sayhttps://dornsife.usc.edu/news/stories/how-many-senses-do-we-have/https://www.sensorytrust.org.uk/blog/how-many-senses-do-we-haveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/why-we-do-what-we-do--3419521/support.Support our podcast: www.patreon.com/wwdwwdpodcast
