Evolution of Specific Thought?

Yes as I am reading math stuffs I happened to pop one of those annoying thoughts I think would make a neat thread. This probably should be in speculations but I don’t understand the customs to such all to well.

Okay then. For instance, division, or multiplication. Anyways at all to trace maybe such thoughts naturally occurring, or is such purely artificial as in learn for example? I don’t know how you separate learning from natural to artificial its more or less a shoddy mechanism for communicating but its the best I could do.

For example, gauging the velocity of an object. Does this naturally occur by instinct with people at some age cutoff?

The only way I think I could check really for anything empirical is language variance, but going from human evolution it gets complex quick.
