Levitin identifies six fundamental song functions - friendship, joy,
comfort, religion, knowledge, and love - then shows how each
in its own way has enabled the social bonding necessary for
human culture and society to evolve. He shows how these six
songs work in our brains to preserve the emotional history of our
lives and species. The World in Six Songs is a revolution in
our understanding of how human nature evolved-right up to the
iPod.
