Do humans have just five basic senses?

The notion that humans have only five basic senses has been around for centuries, but it's not entirely accurate. The reality is that humans have far more than just five senses, depending on how you define them.

Traditionally, the five senses are considered to be sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch. However, some scientists argue that other senses should also be included, such as proprioception (our sense of body position), thermoception (our sense of temperature), and nociception (our sense of pain).

Additionally, there are other senses that are more difficult to define, such as our sense of balance, our sense of time, and our sense of spatial orientation.

Overall, while the five senses may be a useful starting point, it's clear that human sensory experience is far more complex and nuanced than that.
