Related to this, one of my favorite books in the recent past was Sweet Anticipation by David Huron, a summary of his lab's work on the cognitive science of music, focused on why we love music. Fascinating read on this topic.https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/sweet-anticipation …

It's a classic - but remember, we didn't evolve merely listening to music. We did music together.https://twitter.com/PatrickESavage/status/1288294227781140480?s=20 …

And emotion. I’ve long been very interested and intrigued by music’s ability to bring folks together socially, by releasing bonding hormones.
