I can only speak from my own anatomical experience.  If it weren't for Life Long Learning, I could not have afforded a college music education.  I was 69 YO when my private voice teacher showed me the Circle of 5ths.  I was intrigued and so entered Richland Community College, Dallas, TX to find "What's it all about".  It was as if my brain had been deprived all my life.  I felt completely whole for the first time.  It gave me courage and strength.  I entered the hallowed building of "culture" for the first time. What a new environment.  That strange building called Fannin I used to see across the brook from the Science Building.

I had already known of a theory from observation that there is a way to tell if a child is gifted.  It's like a "bump" in the cortex.  It disappears if the child isn't exercising it by the time the child is 12 YO.  That was 15 years ago.  I don't know if there is such research today in genetics.  Can this be determined inside the womb?  Already they are experimenting with creating human-non-human creatures.  What will they be called? Human Monkeys or Human Canines or Human Felines?  

So right now, can a mom with a huge belly full of a human being with all the photgraphic monitoring know ahead of time if the baby inside her has the gift of music?  Shouldn't we expect all humans to be given an equal evolution in music.  The universal pendulum of time, the timekeeper, the bass line, the drum beat. Music, as far as I know, is only an Earth Science.  That's because it needs a medium to exist.  Humans create this Earth science.
