PDF-(BOOS)-The Singing Neanderthals: The Origins of Music, Language, Mind, and Body

The propensity to make music is the most mysterious wonderful and neglected feature of humankind this is where Steven Mithen began drawing together strands from archaeology anthropology psychology neuroscienceand of course musicologyto explain why we are so compelled to make and hear music But music could not be explained without addressing language and could not be accounted for without understanding the evolution of the human body and mind Thus Mithen arrived at the wildly ambitious project that unfolds in this book an exploration of music as a fundamental aspect of the human condition encoded into the human genome during the evolutionary history of our speciesMusic is the language of emotion common wisdom tells us In The Singing Neanderthals Mithen introduces us to the science that might support such popular notions With equal parts scientific rigor and charm he marshals current evidence about social organization tool and weapon technologies hunting and scavenging strategies habits and brain capacity of all our hominid ancestors from australopithecines to Homo erectus Homo heidelbergensis and Neanderthals to Homo sapiensand comes up with a scenario for a shared musical and linguistic heritage Along the way he weaves a tapestry of cognitive and expressive worldsalive with vocalized sound communal mimicry sexual display and rhythmic movementof various speciesThe result is a fascinating workand a succinct riposte to those like Steven Pinker who have dismissed music as a functionless evolutionary byproduct.
