Is it really true that listening to Mozart makes us and our
children smarter? Why is there always classical background music in
high-class restaurants? Does opera really make cows give more milk
and do sharks like Barry White? Darwin believed our ancestors used
music in courting, and this eventually led to words. Others reckon
music has the same evolutionary role as a delicious cream pie:
none. Why, then, do we have music, and how exactly does it give us
pleasure? Though scientists have been busy in laboratories and in
the field, they propose no unanimous conclusion as yet. From
Neanderthal to Metallica, from Pythagoras to neuroscience, this
book covers the state of the art in research about our relationship
with music, and ends up depicting the birth of a new, extremely
fertile and exciting science. Studies of music and the brain have
recently attracted intense interest leading to the success of
recent books. Bencivelli's distinctive contribution is a broad and
inclusive approach, and an easy writing style intended to introduce
non-specialist readers to the ways scientists formulate questions
and look for answers in this new and fascinating field.
