Why does music pervade our lives and those of all known human beings living today and in the recent past? Why do we feel compelled to engage in musical activity, or at least simply enjoy listening to music even if we choose not to actively participate? I argue that this is because musicality–communication using variations in pitch, rhythm, dynamics and timbre, by a combination of the voice, body (as in dance), and material culture–was essential to the lives of our pre-linguistic hominin ancestors. As a consequence we have inherited a desire to engage with music, even if this has no adaptive benefit for us today as a species whose communication system is dominated by spoken language. In this article I provide a summary of the arguments to support this view.

An improved Huffman coding method for archiving text, images, and music characters in DNA.
Biotechniques. 2009 Sep;47(3):747-54
Authors: Ailenberg M, Rotstein O
An improved Huffman coding method for information storage in DNA is described. The method entails the utilization of modified unambiguous base assignment that enables efficient coding of characters. A plasmid-based library with efficient and reliable information retrieval and assembly with uniquely designed primers is described. We illustrate our approach by synthesis of DNA that encodes text, images, and music, which could easily be retrieved by DNA sequencing using the specific primers. The method is simple and lends itself to automated ... continued » »
