我们比较和对比了109位作者对梅尔等人和我们的目标文章的60篇评论。评论家们在很大程度上拒绝了梅尔等人。的基本定义的音乐和他们试图反驳（1）我们的社会纽带假说，（2）副产品假说，（3）性选择假说的进化音乐性。相反，评论员普遍支持我们更具包容性的提议，即社会联系和可信的信号机制在解释共同进化框架中群体内部的合作和群体之间的竞争方面相辅相成（尽管对“副产品”和“扩展适应”等术语存在一些混淆）。我们讨论了建议的批评和扩展，重点是超越适应/副产品二分法和跨物种，跨文化，和其他实证预测的测试。
We compare and contrast the 60 commentaries by 109 authors on the pair of target articles by Mehr et al. and ourselves. The commentators largely reject Mehr et al.'s fundamental definition of music and their attempts to refute (1) our social bonding hypothesis, (2) byproduct hypotheses, and (3) sexual selection hypotheses for the evolution of musicality. Instead, the commentators generally support our more inclusive proposal that social bonding and credible signaling mechanisms complement one another in explaining cooperation within and competition between groups in a coevolutionary framework (albeit with some confusion regarding terminologies such as “byproduct” and “exaptation”). We discuss the proposed criticisms and extensions, with a focus on moving beyond adaptation/byproduct dichotomies and toward testing of cross-species, cross-cultural, and other empirical predictions.
