Counting Cavemen
Carl Zimmer reports:
Despite the late appearance of higher mathematics, there
is growing evidence that numbers are not really a recent invention - not
even remotely. Cantlon and others are showing that our species seems to
have an innate skill for math, a skill that may have been shared by our
ancestors going back least 30 million years.
