- The earlier hominid ability to emit sounds of variable pitch with some meaning shows that music at its simplest level must have predated speech. The possibilities of anthropoid motor impulse suggest that rhythm may have preceded melody, though full control of rhythm may well not have come any earlier than the perception of music above.

Jun 20, 2017 · Music must first be defined and distinguished from speech, and from animal and bird cries. We discuss the stages of hominid anatomy that permit music to be perceived and created, with the likelihood of both Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens both being capable.
Mar 19, 2021 · These earliest examples of music technology coincided with the earliest evidence of Homo sapiens’ capacity for figural representation and, by implication, language and conceptual reason.

Adaptation, evolution, and music. From simple percusives to facile musical instruments, the tools of music represent a small leap for humankind. Diverse forms of art, tools, and probably music emerged in early Homo sapiens, and are evident in remains that date back at least 40,000 years (See Figure 4) (Mellars, 1996, 2004). Figure 4.
By studying fossils, we can establish that once our ancestors had the horseshoe-shaped hyoid bone in the throat in a similar position to modern humans, they would have had the physical ability to sing as we can. That date is over 530,000 years ago. Read more:
Feb 14, 2018 · New research into the evolution of the emotions may provide important avenues for testing hypotheses about the early evolution of proto-music, and further application of signalling theory in archaeology may shed more light too.
Jun 29, 2017 · How did music begin? Did our early ancestors first start by beating things together to create rhythm, or use their voices to sing? What types of instruments did they use? Has music always been important in human society, and if so, why?
