Abstract

This chapter explores the comparative study of rhythm, music, and musicality across species, emphasizing a perspective that moves beyond human-centered frameworks. By surveying research on the physical foundations of rhythm, melody, and harmony, as well as their perception and production in non-human animals, we examine how these abilities have been shaped by natural pressures and the potential evolutionary pathways that may have led to their exaptation for communication and musical expression.
