Abstract

The evolution of human musicality has attracted immense and intense cross-disciplinary research attention. However, despite widespread interest, there has been surprisingly little explicit focus on the conserved roots and evolutionary precursors of musicality in our closest relatives, chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (P. paniscus). We here aim to evaluate the extant literature on chimpanzees and bonobos in behavioral contexts relevant to evolutionary theories of musicality, especially simultaneous production of acoustics signals by multiple individuals (“collective acoustics”). We illustrate the importance of this literature by evaluating and comparing a pair of recent, influential, and competing theories on the evolution of human musicality (music for social bonding and music for credible signaling) in light of the reviewed empirical evidence. We conclude by highlighting core remaining questions for future empirical studies on great ape collective acoustics that may have a critical influence on our understanding of the evolution of human musicality.

集体声学:人类音乐性进化的保守根源
人类乐感的演变引起了广泛而激烈的跨学科研究的关注。然而,尽管引起了广泛的兴趣,但令人惊讶的是,很少有人明确关注我们的近亲黑猩猩(Pan troglodytes)和倭黑猩猩(P. paniscus)的音乐能力的保守根源和进化先驱。本文旨在评价现存的关于黑猩猩和倭黑猩猩在行为背景下与音乐性进化理论相关的文献,特别是多个个体同时产生的声学信号(“集体声学”)。我们通过评估和比较一对最近的、有影响力的、相互竞争的关于人类音乐性进化的理论(用于社会联系的音乐和用于可信信号的音乐)来说明这些文献的重要性。最后,我们强调了未来类人猿集体声学实证研究的核心问题,这些问题可能对我们对人类音乐性进化的理解产生关键影响。

期刊介绍: The objective of the American Journal of Primatology is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and findings among primatologists and to convey our increasing understanding of this order of animals to specialists and interested readers alike. Primatology is an unusual science in that its practitioners work in a wide variety of departments and institutions, live in countries throughout the world, and carry out a vast range of research procedures. Whether we are anthropologists, psychologists, biologists, or medical researchers, whether we live in Japan, Kenya, Brazil, or the United States, whether we conduct naturalistic observations in the field or experiments in the lab, we are united in our goal of better understanding primates. Our studies of nonhuman primates are of interest to scientists in many other disciplines ranging from entomology to sociology.
