Revisions to be made to EIP, There seems to be substantial evidence suggesting that many important innovations in the fields of art

and music were the results of finding different uses for already existing resources.\ neanderthal line not necessary, ust included it to attempt to close off the time period of my discussion. !aybe necessary to help the in"uiry paper seem li#e it has a definitive boundary at the beginning. $hen I read it It ma#es me wonder where the end is if i #now where the beginning is, I might leave it in as a reflection of my own writing style. I considered a similar field in order to validate that the phenomena I%m discussing regarding innovation occur across multiple fields, not ust a single convenient field.

(rammatical and italics missteps should all be corrected. !aybe ma#e the story in the into flow better into the rest of the introduction. The first recorded written musical piece was written for a lyre according to the names of the strings indicated. )ccording to wi#ipedia. Entertainment as a desire, according to maslow%s heirarchy of needs at the very top lies self*actuali+ation, meaning living up to one%s potential through spontaneity, creativity, and various other methods. ,orms of entertainment easily provide the opportunity for creativity and spontaneity, especially artistic and musical forms of entertainment. Rulers of the time most li#ely lived fulfilling lives and re"uired entertainment. $e see a similar thing happening at the beginning of the englightenment in france, during the baro"ue era, where the well studied scholars were paid by the wealthy nobles to come up with ways to ma#e thier lives easier and more en oyable, as well as more entertaining, leading to the explosion in music, and such large names as fran+ oseph haydn, wolfgang amadeus mo+art, ohann sebastian bach, and many others. Referred to as the baro"ue dualism. -es, the very first instruments were most li#ely created long before any documented written language. .owever, based on research done with a coc#atoo we #now that language and music are very closely correlated, in the example of our coc#atoo, we have the youtube sensation, frostie the coc#atoo, who displays an uncanny ability of #eeping rhythm with music. /cientists have conducted tests to chec# if the bird simply coincidentally moves at the right time, but they have found that the bird does indeed #eep rhythm to what it hears. The common ground between those birds and us humans is our ability for speech, parrots and coc#atoos are famous for being able to mimic

human speech, turns out they can also #eep rhythm li#e we can as well. It is believed that the mechanism in our brains that allows us to learn speech and emulate speech we hear also allows us to #eep rhythm. This means that written language would not have to be a precursor to music, simply the ability to mimic sounds we hear, which is a rather basic ability for human communication that most li#ely would have developed long ago. )ccording to neurophysicist valayanur ramachandran the mental abilities that allowed humans to reach the point we have to day and the rapid spread of those s#ills would have occured 01,222*322,222 years ago. $e also #now that these s#ills allowed for the rapid hori+ontal sharing of information, such as the age old story of cavemen discovering fire. If a single caveman coincidentally discovered that the pressure of air going through a cylinder can ma#e sound, then that #nowledge could be spread hori+ontally. This also explains the multitude of pierced bones found in the div e babe cave. I don%t thin# stating the #eys of innovation at the beginning of the essay would really serve my essay well. I intend for the essay to be an en oyable read, something li#e a written documentary film. The answer to the in"uiry in documentaries is never given in the beginning, although the goals are stated. I believe that allowing the reader to explore and come up with thier own ideas as they read the essay is a valuable part of the allure of an in"uiry essay. Essay should be double spaced.
