The analysis, published by Phys.org, revisits the historical debates surrounding geometric understanding, which date back to Plato's time.
It posits that geometric thinking might not be a unique human trait but could instead be linked to exploratory behaviors observed in various species.
This perspective could have significant implications for how we approach education and cognitive development in both humans and animals.
