Since antiquity, thinkers have attributed mathematics, and particularly geometry, to a uniquely human faculty. Yet, a recent analysis reveals a much older and more common root shared by living beings.

Debates over how geometry is understood and learned date back at least to the days of Plato, with more recent scholars concluding that only humans possess the foundations of this understanding.
