“The results demonstrate that Homo sapiens during the late [Middle Stone Age] mastered precise, pre-planned patterns anchored in specific geometric affordances: orthogonality [meaning the use of right ...
The paper, published recently in PLOS One, describes an investigation of 112 ostrich eggshell fragments dating back more than 60,000 years from three archaeological sites in southern Africa. These ...
60,000-Year-Old “Highly Unusual” Etchings Could Point to Humanity’s Earliest Use of Geometric Design
Evidence of early human use of geometric concepts in prehistoric art has surfaced in Africa, pointing to complex patterns in ancient etchings on ostrich eggshells.
A mathematician has developed a new way to uncover simple patterns that might underlie apparently complex systems, such as clouds, cracks in materials or the movement of the stockmarket. The method, ...
Reducing redundant information to find simplifying patterns in data sets and complex networks is a scientific challenge in many knowledge fields. Moreover, detecting the dimensionality of the data is ...
