Summary
From the BBC Radio 4 podcast What happens to humans when we can’t touch?
Human skin is designed to be stroked, and it’s most effective at a particular speed.Light, slow stroking at exactly two and a half centimetres per second.This is the touch that we are hardwired to love.Which is why I say, if you really want to know how somebody feels about you,don’t listen to what they tell you, just feel how they touch you.—Robin Dunbar, Prof. of Evolutionary Psychology, University of Oxford
OrSometimes it's the right person at the right time.
