There seem to be all sorts of reasons that our distant ancestors' development of a number sense was useful enough to be evolutionarily favored. Do we still have everyone in the tribe? Do we outnumber the enemies? How many predators were chasing me? Are these all of my children? A number sense that told us "2+2=3" could be quite maladaptive.
