Humans have been counting for thousands of years, with evidence of counting systems dating back to ancient civilizations like the Sumerians and Egyptians around 5000 years ago. The development of counting likely evolved over time as humans settled into agricultural societies and needed to keep track of resources, trade, and other transactions.
