Are Animals Musical?

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Dr Antonio M. M. Rodrigues.

Many sounds produced by non-human animals sound like music to human ears, but differ fundamentally from human music in meaning and function. This presentation will examine various forms of non-human animal “music”, to argue that music is not defined by sound alone, but rather by a uniquely human approach to social interaction and symbolic communication. ​

This talk is part of the Wolfson College Science Society series.
