Quote:

but it's the use of language to explain abstractions that allows humans to take math to much higher levels

I'd say that's a pretty big dividing line.

And it makes the article totally useless.

"So monkeys could solve math problem like calculus IF they could speak." Well no shit. That's what we call humans.

article said:

FRIDAY, Feb. 13 (HealthDay News)—Many primates are capable of basic math and pre-verbal "number sense," but it's the use of language to explain abstractions that allows humans to take math to much higher levels, says a Duke University expert

So...there not at all equal to college students is the basic premise I'm getting here. Damn you misleading headlines!
