Well what we call 'The Natural Numbers' kind of always existed. All civilisations have had numbers and maths. What changed over the years is the representations, the Romans used roman numerals like XLCVIII, the ancient Aztecs used knots in string. The digits we use today 0,1,2 etc. are known as Arabic numerals which, confusingly, originated in India about 2300 years ago.
