The Pontifical Academy of Sciences organized a symposium[1] in October 2021 to discuss the "neural" peculiarity of the human species that has allowed it to reach a higher level of consciousness than other species. Stanislas Dehaene's speech, introduced by a number of photographs of engravings made of symbols and dating back to the Bronze Age, piqued the curiosity of a journalist from The New York Times, Siobhan Roberts. He wanted to know more about the knowledge accumulated by neuroscientists demonstrating a particular affinity of humans for geometry. In a long article "Is geometry a language that only humans know?", the journalist goes back at length on results published in 2021 in the journal PNAS (Sensitivity to geometric shape regularity in humans and baboons: A putative signature of human singularity.) and which are the result of a collaboration between UNICOG/NeuroSpin, the Collège de France, the CNRS and the Université Paris 8.
