NAME:
If you think math is a bug, imagine what cavemen thought, they lived with notions of math without suspecting that “it's everywhere”.
Even a long time ago, in prehistory our ancestors were already aware of numbers, of course they didn't know how to count, but they noticed that things changed numerically.
For example, that the days passed and the children were increasing. They then began to record these notions of quantity in bones (since it must be difficult to keep everything from head) these carved bones are the oldest records that exist, about 20,000 years old. back.
Gradually, primitive people learned to use their fingers and toes to remember small numbers. And there are many people who do this until today. They also used carpal parts to measure extensions and found the most suitable geometric shapes for their pottery pieces and for the tips of their spears.
So each culture was developing a method of knowledge and progressing in this very important science.
