The Fibonacci numbers were first described by the Sanskrit linguist Pingala around the year 450 BC.  They arose from the study of meters with long and short syllables.

* The family trees of honey bees can be depicted using Fibonacci numbers because unmated females will always hatch male young, while mated females will always hatch female young and the Fibonacci sequence has many practical applications in biology, e.g. in the study of reproductive patterns of animals, in the study of spiraling of flowers, etc.
