The Origin of Music

Once again.Evolution and the Theory of Evolution have absolutely nothing to do with Moral Systems.The subject though is MUSIC. Have you ever sat through 2 hours of Ravi Shankar?

Part of that is simply the same physical difference as language. Most of the other Primates do not have the vocal tools for either music or speech.

Actually, Evolutionists have no problem with such differences at all. Very slowly. It's likely that language came much later than music. In fact, whistling may have been one of the first features. But in either case, being able to make pleasant noise, even if there is no language content, might well have been a reproductive advantage.I believe it's pretty obvious that music had to come before language. It could well have been something similar to throat singing, strange and haunting the first time you hear it. As others learned to sing, hum, whistle or chant, that provided the two things necessary for the development of language, the mechanics, and two or more people that wish to communicate.The fact is that humans differ from the other animals only in degree. Many other animals make sounds, some the equivalent of singing (cats purr for example), some the equavalent of language (prarie dog warning bark). So Evolutionists don't have much of a problem with any of this.

But you might want to start a thread on that subject.

A more recent example might be Dave Brubeck's Unsquare Dance. I remember the first time I heard it I simply giggled. But that might also have been the Black & White.
