The origins of music
The beginning. An introduction to evolutionary musicology / Vocal communication in animals. Prolegomena to a biomusicology / Origins of music and speech : insights from animals / Birdsong repertoires : their origins and use / What's behind a song? the neural basis of song learning in birds / The sound and the fury : primate vocalizations as reflections of emotion and thought / Gibbon songs and human music from an evolutionary perspective / Social organization as a factor in the origins of language and music / The progressively changing songs of humpback whales : a window on the creative process in a wild animal / Music, language, and human evolution. Can biomusicology learn from language evolution studies? / Toward an evolutionary theory of music and language / Paleoneurology and the biology of music / Hominid brain evolution and the origins of music / Fossil evidence for the origin of speech sounds / New perspectives on the beginnings of music : archeological and musicological analysis of a Middle Paleolithic bone "flute"
Theories of music origin. The "musilanguage" model of music evolution / How music fixed "nonsense" into significant formulas : on rhythm, repetition, and meaning / Synchronous chorusing and human origins / Evolution of human music through sexual selection / Simulating the evolution of musical behavior / Antecedents of the temporal arts in early mother-infant interaction / A neurobiological role of music in social bonding / Universals in music. Human processing predispositions and musical universals / The question of innate competencies in musical communication / An ethnomusicologist contemplates universals in musical sound and musical culture / The necessity of and problems with a universal musicology / The end of the beginning. Listening to music.
