The ability to count is a capability that only human beings have, as for other beings such as animals can be trained to count, but they only memorize and repeat it. Only humans are able to calculate and recognize numbers.
Primitive man who lived centuries ago was already know the count, they have known mathematics though still simple. The fingers are the first counting tool they know.

History says that the first time humans created a calculating tool using a pebble stone placed on the ground, or a string that was summed up in each strand, or also with a branch of a tree branch.
Then the Chinese create a calculating tool sipoa, the measuring instrument that originally in the form of pebbles. Sipoa in the form of stones or seeds stuck in the middle of his then stretched with wood or wire in a box.

Sipoa breaks through civilization for the sake of civilization, able to survive centuries as a counting tool. Even today chinese and japan are still using it, another example of elementary school children still trained to count using a cockroach.
The ica nation that lives peru (south america) centuries ago also has a calculating tool called quipus, in the form of a rope wrapped. Each slug has a certain value
