It has been a well known fact for thousands of years that communication is one of the hallmarks of being human. Even before any scientific studies were ever even conceived, humans knew we were separated from the rest of the animals through our ability to communicate complex thoughts and ideas.

One powerful method that humans have always had over the years is the ability communicate complex, thoughts, emotions and ideas through music. Music has been an integral part of human society even before the agricultural revolution several thousand years ago. Many remains of ancient cave dwellings contain evidence of music and musical instruments.
