Isn't that like, 75% of all modern radio music? “But that’s not communicating about emotion; it’s communicating basically to convince someone to mate with you.”

To play the tamarin rock music and see a response shows to me that monkeys might respond to music as we humans do. Its also good to point out the potential study of language trained chimps to possibly compose music in some sort of way. It seems that from this study, that it can very well be possible for them to do so. It seems to me that this must have been a very interesting study.

I am pretty certain that on his 60th birthday, he celebrated by having cake and playing the piano. Perhaps Cheetah has been too far removed from Chimpanzee society for too long to make a definitive study, but it would be worth inquiring about surely?
