Abstract
En 中文
Musicality and especially moving to a beat—i.e., dancing—is a fundamental human trait. Very few other species have been found to do this, and all of these species are vocal learners, leading to the conclusion that such a tendency is reserved for species with this ability. Notably, most nonhuman primates are not vocal learners, leading to an evolutionary conundrum with regard to when our own ancestors may have begun to dance. Rajendran et al. now show that macaques are capable of synchronizing taps to a real musical beat and choose to do so spontaneously (see the Perspective by Ghazanfar and Steingo). —Sacha Vignieri
