[Biology] Should there be more than five senses?

We all know the common ones of course:
[center] Sight,
Sound,
Touch,
Taste and arguably
Smell.
[/center]

Why do we not have more than these? Yes I know Aristotle, more than 2.5 thousand years ago! 😒

Yet I have just given thought to our sense of balance and looking further others have given mention to our sense of pain and internal pressure as opposed to external pressure. Then there is the sense of cold and heat. And senses such as kinesthesia or body movements.

Now it's been argued that these are a combination of other senses. Yet you can't make that argument for sense of balance.

Hearing and balancing are not related. Deaf people from birth often have a good sense of balance because it's separate.

So shouldn't that be a different sense? 🤷🏻‍♂️

PLEASE - do nut confuse the modern generation, woke fools and university students are they struggle with genders

There are two biological sexes – male and female. Intersex is a term used for disorders of sexual development (DSD). Gender – the roles, behaviours, activities, and attributes that a given society at a given time considers appropriate for men and women to divide labour.

@nedkelly well, I like to keep things on topic from the start of the conversation at minimum.

So you believe Aristotle is the only one that was correct I must assume.

Please remember he was an atheist! And likely a gay one! Many greek philosophers gay. We are talking about 400 BCE. Perhaps earlier.
