Why Romans... blah blah.. who gave a hoot about Romans? Go ask them if you´re interested !
Yeah right, but rather `the way its position after another digit so manipulates its value in the most convenient form`, blahblah... huh?
well, it futher proves that chimps invented zero!
Why?
Chimps and indeed all other mammals feed their offsprings in such a way that they try to avoid repeat feeding of the same kid. So by nature they placed their kids in a fashion of - 1 kid on the left, nothing in the middle, and the other kid the right, and so on, so that they could remember which kid had been fed and which would the next to be fed. In math term, it´s 1-empty-1-empty-1-empty... for the sake of their manipulation of the `value` in the most convenient form!!
It comes natural, as natural as the way how animals walk , in order of left foot, right foot , left foot....
Stil haven´t got it, you dimwit?
1-empty-1-empty-1-empty-... Hello??? It is indeed a basic form of math formula manipulation! And it comes natural, the same as the concept of `zero` that you indian morons have been mistically boasting about all the time!
it´s indeed 1-0-1-0-1-0... you know what? I say chimps are much more advanced than you low IQ morons according to this alone, becuase in this way chimps were efectively manipulating values in a Binary System, while Indians not!
