However did the twelfth root of two (or its early approximations) become
part of man's psyche? (I speak of the ratio of frequencies represented
by the semitone interval - the indivisible step in music ranging from
Bach to boogie, and beyond). Is it possible that an anthropoid
possessing such a faculty had some survival advantage over a brother who
hadn't? If so, what might that advantage have been?
I think the matter deserves an 'evolutionary' explanation - otherwise
Darwinists could be justly accused of not thinking through the
implications of their faith.
