Learning about the origin of numbers was really cool! I found this part of the reading very interesting because I have always wondered how numbers started, and how people began to convey and express them. I didnt know that people werent able to tell the number in groups of objects (like 6 vs 7 apples) and I am curious to know why that is, aside from the fact that there wasnt counting. What would it have been like to live in a time without numbers?
