Study finds monkeys recognise shapes in ways surprisingly similar to humans
New research indicates monkeys and humans process geometric shapes similarly. This suggests geometric intuition evolved long before modern humans appeared. Rotated shapes revealed abstract reasoning
New research indicates monkeys and humans process geometric shapes similarly. This suggests geometric intuition evolved long before modern humans appeared. Rotated shapes revealed abstract reasoning abilities in monkeys and children. The study found shared cognitive mechanisms rather than separate systems. Human geometric abilities build upon primate foundations, not entirely new reasoning.
