From Logan S. James, Research Associate in Animal Behavior, The University of Texas at Austin; McGill University:
… Charles Darwin, an early pioneer in the theory of evolution,… noted that some animals have “nearly the same taste for the beautiful as we have,”…Our sense of beauty might be something we humans share with other animals, rooted in biology... Across our dataset, including animals separated from human beings by hundreds of millions of years of evolution, people tended to agree with the animals about which sound was more pleasant… Amazingly, the stronger the animal’s preference, the more likely humans were to agree…suggesting a subconscious aspect of these preferences.
Older adults who joined a choir improved their memory more than those who got health education. The secret wasn't music. Singing in a choir is an accidental full-brain workout. It combines at least five things that research independently links to cognitive protection: breath control, memorization, social bonding, rhythmic coordination, and emotional expression...choir singers had enhanced structural brain connectivity across the lifespan compared to non-singers.Dr. Laurie Marbas
