Reptile brains respond to music

[Catherine]

Quote:The conclusion being many neurological features appear to have developed early in the evolution of tetrapods, meaning reptiles, mammals and birds are more alike than previously suspected.

I would think a lot of basic things developed very early in the evolution of tetrapods. The brain has continued to evolve, but I would expect basic patterns to be there early on. We have a more complex response to music because our brains are far more complex. We recognize the patterns in the sounds. Still the more primitive brain would have needed the ability to react to complex sounds.
The roots of our music appreciation are probably there in the crocodilian brain.

It would be interesting to know how the dinosaur brain developed in this and other areas. That would be one good reason for cloning them(if it is even possible).
