Are Music and Language Homologues?
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2001I have argued previously that music and language are homologous functions that evolved from a common ancestor that embodied their shared features, something that I have called the “musilanguage” system.1 According to this model, the shared/ parallel features of music and language evolved before their distinct, domainspecific features.

Music of language or language of music?
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2008The 19th century saw intense discussions about the evolutionary relationship between music and language. Spearheaded by Herbert Spencer's 1857 essay ‘The Origin and Function of Music’ [1] and its novel thesis that music evolved as an emotional accentuation of speech, this movement caused not just Charles Darwin to get into the act of discussing music ...

Developmental Science, 2006
Abstract Darwin (1871) noted that the human musical faculty ‘must be ranked amongst the most mysterious with which he is endowed’. Indeed, previous research with human infants and young children has revealed that we are born with variable musical capabilities. Here, the adaptive purpose served by these differing capabilities is discussed with reference
