    • Abstract:
      The article presents information from a study that was conducted on college students and monkeys in order to test the evolutionary link related to counting sums visually. Both groups were asked to identify the sums of two groups of dots without counting them. The results showed that both monkeys and humans seem to rely on the same skills when performing this task.
