Everybody Can Count

According to "Animal that can count", Jason G. Goldman reports that our mathematics skills transcend other species because of our language which connect between us and mathematics;however, other species can also us this skills. For example, chicken which in experiment it knew what is the subtraction because it knew something missed from the test screen. Chimpanzee knew what is the addition because in experiment it could  combine two bowl of chocolates and this chocolate quantity is bigger.

This article warn us to be careful thinking about other species especially their intelligence. Many species cause large number of death and we concern them that they have no brains.
