165 миллионов лет назад зародился ритм • 66 миллионов лет назад появилась первая мелодия • 40 тысяч лет назад Homo sapiens создал первый музыкальный инструмент • Сегодня музыка наполняет нашу жизнь. То, как мы создавали, исполняли и слушали музыку на протяжении всей истории, определило, что представляет собой наш биологический вид и как мы понимаем, кто мы такие. Тем не менее, это упущенная из виду часть нашей истории происхождения • The Musical Human отправляет нас в увлекательное путешествие сквозь века – от Баха до BTS и обратно – чтобы исследовать яркие взаимоотношения между музыкой и человеческим видом. Опираясь на знания из множества дисциплин, ведущий мировой музыковед Майкл Спитцер представляет глобальную историю музыки на максимально широком полотне, от глобальной истории до нашей повседневной жизни, от насекомых до обезьян, от людей до искусственного интеллекта подробнее

For billions of years, Earth was an inhospitably alien place - covered with churning seas, slowly crafting its landscape by way of incessant volcanic eruptions, the atmosphere in a constant state of chemical flux. And yet, despite facing literally every conceivable setback that living organisms could encounter, life has been extinguished and picked itself up to evolve again. Life has learned and adapted and continued through the billions of years that followed. It has weathered fire and ice. Slimes begat sponges, who through billions of years of complex evolution and adaptation grew a backbone, braved the unknown of pitiless shores, and sought an existence beyond the sea • From that first foray to the spread of early hominids who later became Homo sapiens, life has persisted, undaunted
