Shortly after the Dec. 26, 2004 tsunami tragedy, stories and news reports appeared making claims that animals and aboriginal tribes had escaped the danger because they possessed a mysterious "sixth sense" that somehow warned them in time. For example: "no dead animals have been found as a result of the tsunami, confiming animals' sixth sense" and "no one has found dead animals in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami" (Note 1).

These reports are simply incorrect.

Such ability in humans has never been shown scientifically to actually occur with any statistical significance. Of course, people sometimes do predict the future — as one can predict heads or tails on a tossed coin and be right, oh, say, half the time. And yes, there is much about the mind we don't understand. But the claims of psychics (as just one group example of people who think they can see the future) are routinely debunked when held up to the facts.
