Why is the human body not sensitive to radio waves?

Why are humans not able to see,feel or hear radio waves? We are sensitive to the rest of the waves in the EM spectrum. If EM waves are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric fields, why am I not electrocuted by the electric constituent of the Radio waves?

op says we’re sensitive to other waves in the spectrum; my recollection is we only naturally use the visible? presumably, since they don’t help day to day life of hunter gatherers.
which would lead me to ask if there are animals that use the other waves day to day; think there’s sea life in the deeper parts of the ocean that do?
