What is music and why do humans have such a unique reaction to it? No other creature on earth makes such eclectic use of tone and rythem. No other creature is so sencelessly drawn to noises that have no direct relationship with survival or well-being. Some humans like to listen to very, very loud music: sometimes so loud that they suffer sevear hearing damage. What do we gain from expereinces that do not produce any objective benifit to our individual well being?

There is a theory that our species is the creation of extra terrestrials who mixed their own genes with chimpanzees, (with modifications) to make us ideally suited for a life of slavery.

I suggest that we were hard-wired by whoever it was that put us on this planet to be emotionally responsive to different combinations of frequency and time. Music lures men and women to submission and war. It calms us and terrifies us, it makes us feel things that we other-wise would not. It becomes an addiction to most people, as they find them selves desireing feelings that music has given them in the past..

I have no evidence to support this kaka-meme thory, expept for every reptile and mammel's apparent disinterest in music as we know it. True, whales "sing" to one another and they sing together. Is this music. They make erie sounds that are poorly understood.
