I just ordered an MP3 player and was shopping for exercise music for it (the cassette player I had been using when kaput yesterday) and this bit made me think about the thread's music discussion. "Research shows the rhythmic qualities of music tend to mimic patterns of physical skills. Therefore, music can enhance how quickly you pick up new movements and motion skills. For those who feel they were born with two left feet, music might make you more coordinated by helping to execute the stepping with less confusion. " new-fitness.com It would seem that anything that made one more coordinated and physically skillful would be an evolutionary plus. Also, I was reminded by PM of the utility of music for remembering--useful information passed along in song back in the days before writing. We all learned the alphabet by singing it. FWIW.
