Why Do People Sing? Music in Human Evolution by Joseph Jordania
Has anyone read this book? If so, what did you think?
Joseph Jordania claims that early humans developed a unique defense he calls the Audio-Visual Intimidation Display.
"My suggestion is that our ancestors turned loud singing into a central element of their defense system against predators. They started using loud, rhythmic singing and shouting accompanied by vigorous, threatening body movements and object throwing to defend themselves from predators."
