Elaine Morgan, a brilliant author who has written 5 books about the Aquatic Ape Theory. This theory explains why we are musical and how we can sing. About five to seven million years ago in Africa the climate changed such that the ocean came in over primate's habitats. Early hominids spent a couple million years living in and around shallow coastal waters. Living in water made us bipedal, hairless, prone to fat, able to hold our breath, vocalize voluntarily, and focus more on sounds than smells. The last three traits helped us develop speech and song.
