    why do humans enjoy music?

    Sounds like a stupid question but think about it.

    What is it in in our brain that recognizes rhythm ? And why?

    All cultures and civilizations have rhythm
    just like they all have a god and all have a desire for sex.

    So whats the use of music for a human being?

      I think it's because spoken language lacks in it's ability to communicate our complicated thoughts, emotions and ideas.

      Just like all Art. Just an extension of the language really.

      You've read it, you can't unread it.

              That applies to what people have made of music these days.
              But im talking beats of a drum. Just that. We hear it and we follow it. No art there.

                  the oldest language still in use is sanskrit and originally it was a sung language.
                  people never spoke - they just sung everything they wanted to communicate
                  (of course people using sanskrit these days speak it, not sing)

                  so music plays a big role in communication of ideas and thoughts

                      Not just humans enjoy music, some animals enjoy music/songs too.

                          I stand by my long considered opinion..

                          Drum beat is music, and music is art, and art is a method to communicate a thought, emotion, or idea.

                          You've read it, you can't unread it.

                              ever heard of the Mozart effect?

                              theres a websites and a few books about it

                              Mozart was played to plants - they grew bigger faster
                              when cows listened to mozart they produced more milk
                              students listenting to mozart during exams scored higher results
