How did maths start? - Answers

Many animals are aware of the conservation of numbers and very simple notions of addition. It is, therefore, likely that mathematics "started" before the first humanoid.Early humanoids will have been aware of some aspects of mathematics - even if they did not recognise that they were doing calculations. For example: is my "gang" stronger than their gang? This involves using weighted averages: not just numbers but usefulness in battle. It is no good having a big army - of 20 babies against 3 strong warriors! They would probably have been aware of how hard and in what direction to throw a rock or a spear to hit an enemy or prey. They might not have used Newton's Laws of Motion explicitly, but that does not mean they were not using mathematical concepts.
