🙉 🎵 Chimps Like Listening to Music with a Different Beat, Research Finds

Nonhuman primates preferred 🌍 African, 🇮🇳Indian tunes over strong beats typical of 🌎Western Music 🎶

“Although Western music, such as pop, blues and classical, sound different to the casual listener, they all follow the same musical and acoustic patterns. Therefore, by testing only different Western music, previous research has essentially replicated itself,” the authors wrote.

When 🌍African and 🇮🇳 Indian music was played near their large outdoor enclosures, the chimps spent significantly more time in areas where they could best hear the music.

When 🇯🇵Japanese music was played, they were more likely to be found in spots where it was more difficult or impossible to hear the music.

The African and Indian music in the experiment had extreme ratios of strong to weak beats, whereas the Japanese music had regular strong beats, which is also typical of Western music.
