Question: What’s the first sense that humans develop?
Answer: The sense of touch is the first to develop, starting only eight weeks into pregnancy, and is fully noticeable as early as three weeks after birth. Taste and smell quickly follow, working in tandem to help identify sources of food – in the case of babies, formula, or breast milk. Interestingly, hearing and sight, vital to modern life, are the last senses to completely develop.
