Numbers - Where did they come from?
They are certainly older than the scraches on the Ishango bone, dated to be 20,000 years old.
I picked these because of the very interesting use of prime numbers. Did these people understand primes?
If so then this bone is much more than a simple tally bone.. it represents a sophisticated understanding of numbers.
Almost spooky Goldbach like. And 20,000 years before Goldbach.
