What is sixth sense?
Answers
Answer:
This may come as a surprise but humans have more than 6 senses. A sense, in a crude definition, is anything that gives one information about one’s surrounding. Sight (vision), hearing (audition), taste (Gustation), smell (olfaction), and touch (somatosensation) are five of the well known ones. Apart from those, we also possess the ability to detect other sensory stimuli from the environment such as temperature (thermioception), a movement sense (proprioception), balance (equilibrioception), vibration (mechanoreception) and other receptors to detect the state of our internal environment. As such ‘sense’ is not a clearly defined term and thus it’s hard to delineate what exactly does and does not fall into this category.
Animals may not possess some of the human senses but they have other receptors to adapt to their environment, many of which are absent in humans. A few examples I can think of are echolocation in bats, electroreception in creatures like sting rays, magnetoreception ( ability to detect the earth’s magnetic field) in birds, infrared sensing in rattlesnakes etc.
Additionally, animals may also have senses that are analogous to that of humans but more developed to suit their lifestyle and environment : such as a stronger sense of smell, enhanced taste receptors and vomeronasal organs in mammals to detect pheromones.
I know this doesn’t answer the question directly but I do not know the name of the scientist who deemed that humans have more senses than animals.

1.This may come as a surprise but humans have more than 6 senses. A sense, in a crude definition, is anything that gives one information
2.
Nerves relay the signals to the brain, which interprets them as sight (vision), sound (hearing), smell (olfaction), taste (gustation), and touch (tactile perception)
3.a supposed intuitive faculty giving awareness not explicable in terms of normal perception.
