I don’t know what to make of people in this situation. Some claim it’s obviously psychosomatic. Possibly, but humans are actively evolving genetically and is it possible that some small group is sensitive via an undiscovered genetic quirk? I’m super curious about this.

If they're actually sensitive, which I don't think has been proven one way or the other, then I don't think it's some newly evolved trait. Rather, I think it's the artifacts of traits we've evolved away from resurfacing. Birds have EM-sensitive receptors in their retinas, which is how their internal compasses work. Some aboriginal people have been known to always know which way is north, even in the dark, which I wouldn't be surprised to learn if it's something similar. Humans also used to have senses of smell that rival dogs, as evidenced by our oversized nasal cavities and that one woman in the UK who can smell cancer. We've lost a great deal of useful physical abilities since the advent of intelligence, and getting a handful of people that randomly got some of it back isn't too surprising to me. It would be interesting if we could isolate such things and maybe bring them back for everyone.
