Recently David Schruth and his colleagues have a new explanation. They say the roots of human music can date back to the branches of trees more than

15、50 million years ago, when the first primates （灵长类） appeared. Early primates moved around forest by leaping （跳跃） from branch to branch, a very dangerous way to travel that relies on hand and eye working together and control over muscles.Schruth argues that a primate that calls in a musical way is ad

16、vertising that it has fine control over its vocal （声音） muscles. This might have convinced other primates that the caller also had fine control over its body. His another research shows the species that leap the most tend to have more complicated calls, which the team jokingly named as protomusical.
