"Are humans the only apes capable of flexibly orchestrating #isochrony and #synchrony in their behaviour? To date, the joint presence of, and connection between, isochrony and synchrony in other mammals has never been found. Here we show the first #evidence for isochrony, #rhythmic flexibility mediated by co-singing, and synchrony in the #vocalizations of an #ape, the lar #gibbon."

Isochrony and rhythmic interaction in ape duetting | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
How did rhythm originate in humans, and other species? One cross-cultural universal, frequently found in human music, is isochrony: when note onsets repeat regularly like the ticking of a clock. Another universal consists in synchrony (e.g. when ...
