Should science go the direction it really is, we are looking at the future where we would have the ability to manipulate, even splice DNA's...
In any case, I'm not entirely sure how much I'm veering off topic, but I posted a thread about how instinctive we are of sound patterns as if it were a language:
[On this very space, wherein a video supposedly lies]
We don’t know much about the human brain on music. Do people instinctively know the sound patterns of the pentatonic scale? Is there a base level of musical knowledge in all of us, just waiting to be tapped? Or is the pentatonic scale simply so common in Western music that it has become ingrained in all of our minds? Improvisational genius Bobby McFerrin uses audience participation to demonstrate the power of the pentatonic scale—or at least the audience’s familiarity with it.
Notes & Neurons: In Search of the Common Chorus:
[On this space, wherein a video supposedly lies]
Is our response to music hard-wired or culturally determined? Is the reaction to rhythm and melody universal or influenced by environment? John Schaefer, scientist Daniel Levitin, and musical artist Bobby McFerrin engage in live performances and cross-cultural demonstrations to illustrate music’s noteworthy interaction with the brain and our emotions.
