Thank you for asking what people are for, not against. That perspective has power to change things for the better. I’d like to see our leadership coalition intentionally create positive momentum that is beneficial for Canadians that will eclipse the misinformation intent on fueling cruel division.

Is it known when humans or our ancestors first started to sing? As songs don't fossilise, this is a difficult task, point out our readers – but this doesn't stop them having a go

When did humans first begin to sing, and why?

I had a crack at answering this question as part of @newscientist.com's LastWord series. www.newscientist.com/lastword/mg2...
