This innate ability, tied to specific brain areas, enables basic arithmetic and number perception without language. It relies on two systems: the parallel individuation system, which tracks small numbers precisely, and the approximate number system, which estimates larger quantities. These systems, present from early infancy, highlight an evolutionary trait and form the foundation for complex mathematical
