Geometry intuitive?

When I came across this article in the New York Times, I must admit, I was somewhat amused by what the findings revealed. The study sees that geometry may be innate. Comparing the results using children and adults who received some formal training and a group of isolated indigenous natives have showed that the lack of formal education in geometry does not have the ability to understand the concepts. hinder shows that nature provides many examples and chance simple geometry concepts such as apply the rule, the point and positional relationships such as parallel and congruency. interesting to note that American children who are a little younger were not fare as well, so it could be deduced that experience is still the teacher is, albeit the ' best ' label is for the full article discussion. See.
