How babies do maths at 7 months?

Apparently, babies are not afraid of Math like we adults are, what with our predisposition to dislike even basic arithmetic and a disposition to use electronic calculators to do these rudimentary tasks.

Still it is amazing that babies can grasp an elementary sense of numbers even before gaining the ability to vocalize or verbalize or get ambulatory. To quote...

By the age of seven months infants have an abstract sense of numbers and are able to match the number of voices they hear with the number of faces they see.

No wonder they seem to realize/know when one or both of their parents leave the room and they begin to wail...I wonder if this is further proof of babies being relatively more intelligent than all grown-ups!
