DESCRIPTION:Humanity evolved its characteristic communicative practices wh
 ile living as African hunter-gatherers. The ethnography of contemporary eg
 alitarian African hunter-gatherers offers important insights into the role
  early musicking behaviours may have served our distant ancestors. Buildin
 g on insights published in 2017\, this talk elaborates specifically on the
  role of song in supporting the evolution of the human communicative spect
 rum\, political organisation and the gendered nature of the human division
  of labour.
