" Introduction There are numerous neurobiological models of language, ranging from those
concerned with speech perception, white matter structure, and the function of dorsal and …

The study of human language is progressively moving toward comparative and interactive
frameworks, extending the concept of turn‐taking to animal communication. While such an …

Analyzing the rhythm of animals' acoustic signals is of interest to a growing number of
researchers: evolutionary biologists want to disentangle how these structures evolved and …

Why does musical rhythm have the structure it does? Musical rhythm, in all its cross‐cultural
diversity, exhibits commonalities across world cultures. Traditionally, music research has …

Rhythm is an essential component of human speech and music but very little is known about
its evolutionary origin and its distribution in animal vocalizations. We found a regular rhythm …

Together with language, music is perhaps our most distinctive behavioral trait. Following the
lead of evolutionary linguistic research, different hypotheses have been proposed to explain …

How music and speech evolved is a mystery. Several hypotheses on their origins, including
one on their joint origins, have been put forward but rarely tested. Here we report and …

This paper presents the argument that inherent musicality in human movement is near-
universal. I examine data and empirical evidence which suggest that dance, music, speech …

С позиции методологии биокультурного соконструктивизма анализируется феномен
музыкальности, понимаемой как совокупность интонационно-ритмических устойчивых …

We present a novel mode of cultural evolution whereby some forms of transmission may be
modelled as quasispecies. The model incorporates the effect of high rates of error in certain …
