Summary

KEY POINTS.

1. Arithmetic is biologically rooted in our perception of the world.
2. Across cultures, all numbering systems are based on addition and multiplication.
3. Non-human species, like bees, exhibit algebraic-like behaviors, hinting at arithmetic's biological origins.
4. Four principles (monotonicity, convexity, continuity, isomorphism) define arithmetic stemming from evolutionary perceptual organization.
5. Mathematics is both a human invention and a biological discovery, highlighting a deep mind-universe link.
