Music is pervasive across human history, cultures, and development, yet its evolutionary origins remain unresolved due to the interplay of cultural and biological influences. We argue that identifying uniquely human musicality requires cross-primate comparative research that integrates rhythm and melody processing with exposure, computational principles, and intrinsic reward.

Abstract
Music is pervasive across human history, cultures, and development, yet its evolutionary origins remain unresolved due to the interplay of cultural and biological influences. We argue that identifying uniquely human musicality requires cross-primate comparative research that integrates rhythm and melody processing with exposure, computational principles, and intrinsic reward.File in questo prodotto:
