A) Paleolithic ancestors depicted in a hypothetical card game, indicating their wagers with opportunistically chosen chips.

B) A collection of several kinds of bones exhibiting graded variation within kind. Despite the uniqueness of each bone, when cavemen played jacks or poker each bone could be used as an equivalent token, on an analogy to the class of integers. See the text for an explanatory vignette.
