> evolution didn't follow the need for good musicians. Hypothesis: One might suggest that good (male) musicians have a better chance of fathering more offspring than most members of the species. There is certainly evidence for this in our own era. "Pan" the Greek god of fertility played a pipe. 45,000 year old Neanderthal stone flutes suggest that music has been around for a while - long enough to have even a slight evolutionary impact anyway... Just a thought.
