The evolution of music: One trait, many ultimate-level explanations
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 44 (2021)
Abstract
We propose an approach reconciling the ultimate-level explanations proposed by Savage et al. and Mehr et al. as to why music evolved. We also question the current adaptationist view of culture, which too often fails to disentangle distinct fitness benefits.Author Profiles
