Mathematics is something all animals which manipulate 3D space possess. It is the ability to understand ones surroundings, make assessments and act on predictions.
For example a fly needs to, from the other side of the room, land on the side of your plate. It uses the image obtained by its many eyes to make assessments about the room. It determines the size of the plate, the distance to the plate, the area it will have to land on and so on. It then begins to fly. While in the air it determines wind speed, pressure and other related factors. The fly needs to then correct its path based on its "calculations". Obtaining the necessary information to simply fly to a plate requires many mathematical processes.
You are smarter than a fly. You are AWARE of your mathematical ability. You consciously choose to do maths and you apply it to different problems.
My point is that, no ONE person discovered mathematics, it was with us all along as a necessary skill required to successfully achieve day to day goals (another example "if the spear is this heavy and the animal is that far away then i must throw so hard"). Although no one person discovered maths many people contributed to it and are still finding new way of explaining the wonders of our universe.
