Abstract
- The article discusses several papers which adopts different approaches regarding the issue of music in evolution and its relationship to behaviors of species other than humans. In one of the paper researchers explored continuities in musical perception between humans and nonhuman species by investigating whether tamarins are sensitive to a distinction between dissonant and consonant sounds. Another researcher said that while language possesses semanticity, music does not.
