   Does music reflect evolutionary theory?

   • If this is indeed the case, given that humans share a common biology as members of a single species, then whatever constitutes “music” across cultures may reflect some general processes of thought and behavior that should, in principle, be a proper focus of exploration in terms of evolutionary theory.

   How did the evolution of human song-style parallel the evolution and dispersal of humans?

   • Grauer proposed that the evolution and global dispersal of human song-style parallels the evolution and dispersal of anatomically modern humans out of Africa, and that certain groups of contemporary African hunter-gatherers retain the ancestral singing style shared by all humans tens of thousands of years ago.

   How did music evolve?

   • Subsequently, musical activities and traditions incrementally evolved throughout modernity (from 250 Kya onwards), global dispersal from Africa (currently thought to be from 60-100 Kya onwards), and the Holocene (from 12 Kya). In this article I provide an overview of recent research and a sketch of music’s evolutionary career.

   Does music have evolutionary effects?

   • In contrast to the positions of both Miller and Pinker, the majority of recent evolutionary treatments of music have focused on its effects at the level of the group; music is viewed as having, and as having had, effects on intergroup and intragroup interaction, which are conceived of as having had evolutionary consequences.

   What can cultural evolution teach us about music?

   • I also address criticisms regarding issues of musical agency, meaning, and reductionism, and highlight potential applications including music education and copyright. While cultural evolution will never explain all aspects of music, it offers a useful theoretical framework for understanding diversity and change in the world’s music.
