Can you use the word 'primordial' to describe the human senses?

Question

I was just wondering if I can use the word 'primordial' to describe the human senses? As in... "the primordial human senses of touch, taste, smell' etc.

Answer 1

It's a bit redundant to use "primordial" to describe the senses. The word "primordial" means original or fundamental. It's common knowledge that most people are born with the five senses so I don't see why it's necessary to specify this. However, I would need to see the context to know for sure.
