Event Details

What makes music so compelling? Why does it draw us in so deeply and how did we evolve the capacity to produce and enjoy it? Charles Snowdon from the University of Wisconsin will explore how humans became music makers in this talk.

This event is part of the Wisconsin Science Festival and made possible in part by the UW-Speakers Bureau.
