   May 1, 2006 · In this paper, I will discuss the biology and evolution of music from an explicitly multicomponent perspective, distinguishing particularly between vocal song and instrumental music. I offer some ways of defining these components, and review the comparative literature for evidence as to when, how and why, some of them evolved.

   Mar 3, 2015 · While ethnomusicology traditionally focuses on the form and social function of songs (and other products of musicality), bio-musicology seeks an understanding of the more basic and widely shared capabilities underlying our capacity to make music, such as singing.

   Feb 1, 2017 · Why do we make music using only a small number of scales out the billions that are possible? Dale Purves shows that rethinking music theory in biological terms offers a new approach to centuries-long debates about the organization and impact of music.

   What is a comparative approach to music?

   • A comparative approach to music has at least three sides. The first and oldest type of comparison is inter-cultural, among human musics: the topic of a vast literature in comparative musicology and ethnomusicology.

   What is the difference between musicality and music?

   • Musicality can be defined as a natural, spontaneously developing trait based on and constrained by biology and cognition. Music, by contrast, can be defined as a social and cultural construct based on that very musicality. One critical challenge is to delineate the constituent elements of musicality.

   Is a comparative approach to the biology of Music a good idea?

   • Research along these lines has begun to accelerate rapidly in recent years, with no end in sight. The third arm of a comparative approach to the biology of music, examining the communication systems and displays of other species from the viewpoint of human music, also offers considerable untapped promise.
