The thrilling story of how our senses evolved and how they shape our encounters with the worldOur senses are what make life worth living. But only recently have incredible advances in sensory biology given us the ability to understand how and why our senses evolved as they have.In Where We Meet the World, biologist Ashley Ward takes readers on a breathtaking tour of how our senses function. They allow us to appreciate a sip of an ice-cold drink, the sound of laughter, the touch of a lover.
Drawing on new research, he explores how our senses interact with and regulate each other, and he uncovers what we can learn from how other animals--and even Ward looks at not only the five major senses--vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch--but also a host of other senses, such as balance and interoception, the sense of the body's internal state.
