Born to count: a biological basis of mathematics

As languages, mathematics is a biological product and thus based on causal processes of two time scales, namely neural mechanisms and evolution. In this commentary, I will try to figure out possible scenarios responsible for the chick mathematics raised by the target article, focusing on discreteness and transposability of natural numbers.
