Before Numbers Existed… How Did Humans Count?

Numbers are everywhere. Your phone, money, time, age, marks — almost everything around us depends on numbers. But have you ever wondered how humans started counting in the first place? Before calculators, phones, written numbers, or even proper writing systems existed… humans still had to answer simple questions: How many animals? How much food? How many people? And slowly, over a very long period of human history, those simple problems helped lead to counting, marks, records, and eventually number systems. In this documentary, we explore what researchers know about the origins of counting, some of the earliest clues we have, and why we still can't point to one person who “invented” numbers. The deeper you think about it, the stranger numbers become.
