Is it true that there is a "fifth taste"?

At school we have been taught that there are four basic flavors: sweet, salty, bitter and acid , but in recent years there has been a need to take into account a fifth flavor, which until the moment had been overlooked.They call it " Umami ", which in Japanese means something like "pleasant or tasty flavor". Although we have to make a nuance.There are many those who refuse to accept the existence of this fifth flavor.The reason?

As we go further in the future , the increase in temperature, accompanied by the deterioration in the protective ozone layer, will make the skin darken as part of an evolutionary improvement, since it will protect us against UV rays.temperatures can also affect our size. We will have longer and thinner bodies to better dissipate excess body heat.
