I don't think we need to go back into ancient history to see the effects music can have on evolving culture. In the 50's and 60's some music started to happen that resonated with kids in the USA of all stripes. Suddenly you saw kids of all colors blending in to a crowd and tapping to a beat. This may have had as much or more to due with the success of the civil rights movements as changing laws did. So what do we look at when we consider successful adaptations? We look at the likelihood of reproduction as one factor. Do musicians have a better chance or a worse chance of reproducing that the average joe sitting in the crowd? What about the kids of such an encounter? Are they more likely or less likely to play music than the kids of average joe... well if average joe likes to romance his partner with some good background music maybe that gets passed on too. Adaptation is all I look at when we talk about evolution. Music brings people together and tends to increase the likelihood of reproduction. Was a giant OHHHHM the catalist for the big bang... Maybe in God language that is the word for 'be'. Yahhh that was prolly it. <g>
