Today it seems assumed that some 40,000 years ago our ancestors were already endowed with the ability to symbolically register thought. However, along with horses, deer, goats or bison painted on cave walls or engraved on bone, in Prehistory we also find «abstract» symbolic manifestations containing a type of non-figurative record that, rather than being considered «art», can only be understood from a «mathematical» perspective. On the other hand, the interpretation is becoming generalized that these records would constitute some kind of counting and even calendrical-astronomical recording, and, furthermore, that part of these records were made by women.
