• Resumen

  • Geddes discusses why touching gives the world an emotional context. It builds trust and promotes teamwork, wins friends and influences people. Beginning in the womb, it may guide the development of regions in the brain that govern social behavior. It could even give humans sense of self. The touch of others makes them who they are. Compared to the other senses, however, touch often gets a raw deal. It receives less attention than sight or hearing, say.
