Ok, you know how for humans, our vision and hearing are sometimes referred to as the higher order senses, because they're organized in the brain into patterns and structures, context and detail, whereas the other three senses just give you raw data?
What about in animals who rely mainly on other senses? For a dog, would scent be their higher order sense? Would their sense of smell give them a wide and integrated fix on the world, rather than just some immediate raw data, the way our vision does for us?
