The Five Senses are:

1. Sight
2. Touch
3. Smell
4. Taste
5. Hearing

The thing to note here is that each sense is important because if you lose one of these senses, it cannot be completely replicated by the others.

For example, if you lose the sense of Sight, then you can use your sense of Touch to compensate a little, as you feel your way around. You can also use your Hearing to sense the audio signals around you. You can even smell and use that information. However, nothing will replace the Sight you have lost.

The point here is that if a Sixth sense exists, it will be something that cannot be done by any of the Five senses we currently know. It would be outside or beyond the Five senses. For example, if we had Telepathy, it could be well a Sixth sense. Having a means of communication beyond Sight, Hearing, Touch, Smell and Taste.

The first five senses are seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling. The convention is that these are the only senses a normal person possessed, and a sixth sense suggests something paranormal. However in reality, there are two more senses: the sense of balance and magnetic direction. Turn yourself around for several seconds, and you throw your sense of balance off like a bright light to the eyes. Walk towards North for a while, and see how you sense the direction no matter how the landscape changes or the position of the sun. You could also say we have an eighth sense: a sense of humor. But I think most people have an abnormal one.

Well the others already answered what the first five are, and mentioned the debate about the human "sixth sense" which has never had any real proof, but if you go outside the realm of just humans there are certainly more than just the five basic senses. Some senses are specialized refinements of the five basic, but there are also things like most sharks ability to sense minute electrical currents, fish sense minute changes in water pressure, migratory birds have a sense of electromagnetic fields...

A sixth sense has been a matter of debate for a long, long time. Personally, I think deja vu, and a sixth sense are kind of one in the same. The other five are your basic senses: touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing.

Sight

Hearing

Touch
Taste
Smell

Sixth sense - You may have no evidence of the sixth sense in terms of ESP, but the concept of this sense can be useful to you. Call it your intuition --your sense of "rightness" about something. This sense can be a powerful aid to concentrating and remembering.

You have seven senses: sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch, balance, and presence. If you don't think balance is a sense consider how well you would function without the ability to keep your balance, you couldn't walk, stand, even sit up. Blind and deaf people would both be better off. Presence is the sense that lets you tell when you are being watched or when other people enter, it's rarely considered a sense because most people ignore it, blind people use it a great deal more.

The five have been answered. Yes there is sixth sense. Women especially have it to protect their nearest and dearest. Second sight almost.

6th sense is which made you ask this question, that is which guids you, and telling you this is right and this is wrong. If you take animals they do not know how to wear dress, but you know to dress. They don't know where to do what, but you know what to do when to do and where to do.
