classic evolutionary terms.Lateralization to this extent is not a trait
shared by all birds and mammals.Among mammals,it is only human lan-
guage that is so dramatically lateralized.Although we contrast emotional
and cognitive aspects of human experience,I suggest that in fundamen-
tal ways,the evocative role of music in human experience is directly
related to language as a specifically human adaptation.References
