"Humans are creatures of rhythms. As far as we know, humans have always sung
and always danced. We can recognise a song by its rhythm alone, regardless of
whether it is played fast or slow.
We seem to have an almost effortless capacity to pick up on rhythmic patterns,
and we have presumed this ability to require the very large and powerful human
brain.
But our new research, published today in the journal
Science, shows humans
are not alone in mastering rhythm. Even the bumblebee, which has a brain the
size of a sesame seed, has an ability to quickly learn abstract rhythms."
