it is a discovery. Look at how kids are taught math:
"take one apple. Put another apple next to it. How many apples do you have?"
some time long ago Grog and Ug sat in a cave and noticed that they had a dead antelope and a dead antelope in front of them. They discovered that if you put one antelope next to another antelope, there are two antelopes. The concept of quantity was discovered, and from there stemmed all mathematics.
