Music is What Makes Us Human: The Musical Human with Michael Spitzer

The connection between music and human beings runs deeper than you might think. Humans are innately musical beings - and our relationship with music has been deeply intertwined since the homo sapiens first emerged. Our guest today is Michael Spitzer, who boldly makes the case that music is the most important thing we ever did; and is in fact a fundamental part of what makes us human.

Michael is a British musicologist and professor of Music at the University of Liverpool. He is the author of four books including his most recent, The Musical Human: A History of Life on Earth. The book is the first 'Big History' of music, a colossal history spanning cultures, time, and space to explore the vibrant relationship between music and the human species. He joins us from Liverpool, England.

Look for his book The Musical Human: A History of Life on Earth from Bloomsbury wherever you buy your books, and listen to the serialised version on BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week, read by Simon McBurney.
