“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 ...
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 ...

60,000-year-old markings on ostrich egg shells reveal world’s oldest ‘geometric grammar’
Researchers have discovered and analyzed the world’s oldest geometric patterns on 60,000-year-old ostrich egg ...
Complex networks, ranging from biological systems to technological and social infrastructures, have long intrigued researchers with their intricate connectivity and emergent behaviours. Recent ...
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 ...
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, ...
