Our melodies and songs match similar patterns all over the world — despite all cultural differences and superstitions.
Whether it is lullaby or dance music, a person defines it intuitively-even if the melody comes from a completely different cultural environment. Our songs seem similar in sound and show a universal connection between the form and function of music. That is, music is subject to universal "understanding", according to scientists.
Music is a language that everyone understands.
Music is deeply rooted in our history and nature, linked to human existence. There is hardly a culture anywhere that doesn't know music. Even our earliest ancestors were musically gifted: they played drums and sang during rituals, festivals, or daily labor. Probably, even the common ancestors of humans and chimpanzees had musical abilities. After all, our closest relatives also love music.
