Article Title：The origins of music: Some stipulations on theory

Abstract：
IT IS ARGUED THAT APPROACHES to music that employ evolutionary theory must seek to define 'music' as explicitly as possible. Without such a definition, the relationships between music and other domains of human and animal behavior must remain underspecified, limiting the generality of any claims that can be made concerning its evolutionary roots.
