I like reading evolutionary and genetic studies of human traits, societies, social constructs, abstract conventions like philosophies, music and instruments, etc. I'm real disappointed drums aren't early in archaeological finds-but no it's flutes-even Neanderthal were making them. The lithophone-a xylophone using rocks as resonators-even predates any drum found. Dang early humans weren't to bright-makes me think perhaps this ability and comprehension evolved recently. Our abilities to comprehend and enjoy music have genetic/environmental elements (chromosome segments-individual genes identified)-some people don't like or enjoy music-it's a real thing. How religions, governments, single individual become rulers (and how and why masses would abdicate)-be it theocrat, dictator, president, etc, art, music, languages, science, etc evolved and because they did -for what purpose and WHY? I think the abstract "why" questions are just as important, if not more important, than the "how" and "what" in exploring phenomena. We move from a focus to a wider view in trying to understand "why" questions. I find my views have changed to be more open trying to understand "why" than the how. How's I get super focused and tend to hone in on strong opinions-whereas looking at "why" I've moderated my tone. As my mother would tell me-you can't see the forest for the trees. But Mom I love the trees LOL.
