Dawn is not exclusively human, but the way we rich realize it does because to be in see can have a very healing quantity. When people move together to music, they feel connected. Dance helps us on the movement is the medium of evolution. It is a way of getting in touch with something. Take us as myself, a human self is constantly creating and becoming patterns of movement. The dancing health human become human, the, the, the, its kind of incredible that you just human in your body and that its with you while you during everything you during the house and listen to music with headphones. But now i dont do that because i feel like, oh, i may as well share this with a southern little creature thats growing inside of me. I dont know if it likes so. I understand, sir, but it is kind of nice to know that theres like a, another set of you paying attention. I mean, it makes sense. The dots would begin in the the mothers heartbeat would be the opportunity for a human brain to experience for the like a stage for the movement to be like, the once an incident emergency. They are already engaged in this nascent dance. Theyre using move with patterns as a way to explore their world and grow them. And as they make those move the daughters that theyve been making in the room, Different Things happen. Human infants are born completely dependent in order to survive, they to succeed in getting caregivers to take care of them. An instance do so by exercising a suite of skills that find expression in their instance Image Movement patterns. Like when they left his mind, they synchronize their movements with their caregivers. They play with movement that they have made, and they practice the movements that sure them, whatever nourishment and protection. And they have this capacity to, as they play, mimics to become those patterns that them the learning to dance is a right of passage. Nearly all of us do it at some stage in our lives and dance as part of every human culture. This suggests a strong evolutionary reason or impulse. But are we the only ones who do it . Good. The flamingos teach their young patterns of movement. They learn to join the pink parade before theyre ready to make. And it turns out this display is key to their survival the, this Nature Preserve on the mediterranean is home to one of the most important flamingo breeding grounds in the world. That i dont know the defendant, that again, every year, tens of thousands of flamingos gather to choose amazing partner doing what is known as enough jewel display. What is a very orientation . I think theres 14 post, i mean goes into the names and the females. Do the dance, the names are the same out when tools each other to get a partner, which is an equity and weve done so they are through obviously evasion. Scientists have noticed that seemingly random movements are actually sharply defined. There are different and fosters and during the course of these play at 2nd, which is just moving the head like this, marching with standards. Inverters and wing sounds. Fourths feeding. Printers, scratching the head with their leg. Also when leg stretched from these 4 chairs, there are more than 100. 00 per single transitions between the posters. By showing that they are able to do with a very complex dance. They show that they are put 42 and even the ones that we on the next dates for the reading. The flamingos with the most moves are most likely to attract to make the courtship display is a dance competition that drives the evolution of the species. For species, competitive dance has many motivation. The new champions of dancing with the stars are bobby sometimes we can beat for money and thing the sometimes for fun or bragging rights. To him is a complex expression of social behavior. And beyond that, as these dancers will show us, its a way to connect with the Natural World. These professional dancers have agreed to an unusual challenge to create choreography that, in by it is the movement of 3 animal species guy. So you guys ready for those . The box, the 1st one to a level was that for me like this . I never what i thought that just showing the one of the holes i thought did it. So with one like some of those moves look like human and its a for that, it doesnt even have a spine or a frame that looks anything like an hour. The variety of kennedy kind of relates to model like 8080 random house reaction the. Were hoping that as they interpret patterns of movement, theyll discover something about dens, nature and themselves. For us to go back and select thing nation trying to replicate, but youre tapping back into how to proceed. Movements, even though they get bodies a little together, the heads would be different. Yeah. So like even though is eunice, thing is still signifies if theres a difference between us, are you able to add your own to plans that are a little bit thinking our vision comes with chemistry to see flamingoes moving units, and thats our key, or the many animal species synchronize, sometimes its a way to over well or evade predators. In human dance forms, we often match each of these moves. What does this mean in terms of our evolution, the at Oxford University . This social ends evolutionary psychologist hopes to find out. Im really interested in understanding more about what happens when we dance together in an evolutionary and kind of big picture sense. Or the ingredient that we identified to focus a little bit more closely on was that of synchrony. And not really gave rise to the design of the silent disagree experiment. Taking spot be towards very, very basic down seems to out, to dispense in order to try and capture what then might happen when you bring them together. And they end up synchronizing through right to last and again tend to its much like make some groups are going to be told not to synchronize by virtue of the fact that they are changed into a different planet discovery channels. So you can hear anything yet. Some of the groups are going to be synchronizing because theyre changing to exactly the same child. Non synchronized groups are still dont things together facing each other. Theyre standing the same distance of hot buds, different music, different instructions doing different movements. And they play not having the same kind of a good time as the groups that were dont, single and things. And even having theyre not joining in and some kind of collect isnt the joy as a witness when everyone was synchronized. But more importantly, when we actually asked them questions afterwards, how much do trust the other participants that youve just done with . How much do like them help them and then press to now to do you feel how much do you feel like you are part of the great. There is a significant difference between those groups and the groups that have had a fully synchronized together done spirit. When people, i dont think its very difficult not to find just out twining to feeling a little bit of a moment to the connection which is otherwise strange that they punch in life. They tend to feel close to, to each other, even if theyre complete strangers. They might rates this person is dealing with some of the inputs. Now seeing rain gets trick. Realizing that were actually moving as was wrong and wonder is it the subjective feelings . If the connections are linked to our brain chemistry . On a chemical level, part of that explanation of the group funding, the format that we think of pumping through vein. When we are engaging in al synchronize, dont think its very difficult to measure endorphins directly. So we have to try and do it in an in direct way, for example, through pain threshold. Now, demonstration will be using an ice bucket test in order to see how long people can hold their hands. You know, its an indication of how much pain they can tolerate baseline measure as before, theyve done together. And we can see whats the change in pain color for each participants. And as a group that has done together 1st, as the group has not done fully. Were not going to repeat the ice book a test as soon as you start to feel any discomfort will pain. Take the handouts. Now study we found that people that hadnt synchronized actually didnt experience on average, much for change at all, and pain threshold. For some people is in fact dropped. Great thanks. The opposite side of this goes fast, synchronized set of dances, having done things synchrony be able to hold their hand in the ice bucket full longer than they were before the dancing endorphins, our natural opioids. These feel good chemicals get ramped up when we move together when we synchronize together, especially. And that gives us a sense of collective joy that we then share. And so the social funding theory of don is a convincing explanation in the big picture evolutionary sense for understanding why we might jobs. Why on systems might have pressed tacit down saying the while observation and experiment can shed light on wind. We dance. This philosopher believes that to truly understand you have to theyre always impulses to me that are rising. Every thing that is happening at every moment at all times, at all levels of our bodily self movement. Theres the movement of ourselves, burning energy, creating a 1000000000 little fires. And every moment theres the movement of our digestive system. Theres the movement of our breathing. Theres the movement of our heart. Theres the movement of our neurons, which are wiring and firing. A free human is this constant process of creating and becoming pattern laying down trajectories of intention, sensory awareness of narrow, muscular coordination, defense become who the what is the cultivated awareness of the che, ripka, which yes, and remember dyslexia towards this yes. And that lots stretch a visual sense might be very important and dancing, but the real holy grail is the can aesthetic self awareness sensing myself internally all the time stretching. And then at some point, this expert in biomechanics works in collaboration with a neuro scientist from mit is immersion lab. Okay. One more time. My current explanation is the intersection of the mechanics and dancing. So today with these high level dancers we are trying to see if we can use biofeedback tools to help them gain synchronicity already. But mississippi then are dancer who has perhaps lost some affair due to an injury, entering from the steam between dancers but actually, okay, really like go somewhere. Yeah, i cant even touch it. So hopefully i can feel a very big pain. So i cant stretch myself. I can do wrong, so its uncomfortable. Okay. So be placed in for dyslexia and markers on the notices. And then we have all of these cameras around here, which allow us to 3 dimensionally track. These reflective thoughts. Data from all of tart gets automatically computed by the software to reconstruct the 3, the positions in space and actively frame so that they can monitor and the last to city of their so the perspective were giving to you is as if there is a 3 in attached to these 2, my curse. Right . So somebody is, youre looking at yourself from the back via this augmented reality headsets. We can basically allow the dancer to see his or her environment at the same time as for texting right in front of them like a overhead display. Like in the cards. Um, what information uh the spine is basically sending jazz to understand what need to do with yourself to be able to distrust a lot. Please take a step forward on your right and then make the top 2 points go away from each other. To use the bills of Elastic Energy to tanya. So nice. How does that feel free and know think about it cuz she got real time visual consummation for which way do i have to feel inside to see these thoughts moving apart . So she quickly figured out, this is the correct type of stretch, then youre going to some type of contraction which gives you the units come up. As maria feels better about the movement, there is an organic response enrollments movement as well, which is informed by marias change. Like more of what more power more control is in connection with this and being out of sync with yourself is really, really not good for us. And so, sensing can have a very several beauty course healing quantity because it gets rid of this and then and so get you in touch with yourself. We synchronize with ourselves with others. And at some point in our lives, we learned to synchronize with music. In research, were really interested in learning about how we develop a relationship with music advance. All right, hi, terrance, thanks so much for coming in with costs and impacts. And today im going to be playing some songs for them. And were going to play that a few different templates to see if they notice it getting faster and slower. That sound good guys. At the temple lab we studied timing and treatment, music perception, and how that develops from infancy through childhood. And especially we want to know how their temple of flexibility and beef perception abilities are also changing and growing. The type of flexibility is essentially this idea that you can look back, sir, when would be a faster and slower when the beat is slower. We are not responding to the beats, were not clamping just after the beat happens because we hear it. Were actually predicting when the next bit is going to occur. The children are going to be hearing a saw. So they probably know the chart and theyre also going to be hearing a song that you know me, i dont really want to move, which is the wonder is the prescription were going to be playing. Then these fonts had their original tempos, but were also going to be playing a sped up version and a slowed down version. And we want to know how the kids move to these different pieces of music. Going to be sometime between the age of 5 months and 14 months babies start to move because theres music playing bodies. We may see the babys shifting a little bit in each direction. And then as theyre getting older theyre shifting closer and closer to those targets. Between the ages of 4. 00 and 6. 00, we see huge improvements in the synchronization at a wider range of template for a 4 year old. Shes doing an amazing job. It actually synchronizing to the beach and you can see that shes kind of like planning ahead like shes thinking like i want to do this move by the time were out, we can clap onto something thats like 40 beats per minute. Really, really slow. And we can also clap along to something thats like 300. 00 bits per minutes really, really fast. Since disability develops in merely our human, where did we get it from . Chimpanzees and human sharing the last common ancestor about 6 to 7000000 years ago. So that means that chimpanzees are our closest living relative on earth of 98. 6 percent of our dna is shared between these 2 species. And if we see chimpanzees in humans fair, im kind of comment ability. That suggests that the capacity existed in or less common ancestor. But when scientists expose captive chips to music was some move brittany play. Their ability to adjust to tempo is nowhere close to what humans can do. Humans are especially good at moving to the beach. The better than other spaces, various you can even try to do it, but you know where the best at moving to the beat. But then this bird came along the as millions of youtube users already know. Hes a cockatoo named snowball in videos with no trickery or fancy editing involved. Hed dances too familiar, hit the fair, all her fathers go. They was blaze. So i have to kind of mimic not because the thought was really interesting. Challenge with this is not the animal. So not only right, its like essence, but im also actually trying to replicate some of the people to do freestar. And its always stepping on 3 parts of teach some humans to do that. What impresses the dancer on this . A puzzle for evolutionary biologists. 2 1 day i was at my desk and a video was sent to me of a bird apparent that seemed to be moving to the beat of music. It was this parent sitting on the back of a chair in somebodys living room with a song by the Backstreet Boys and i had just never seen anything like this before. I mean, i was just my, it was mind boggling. The why doesnt a chimpanzee, which is so close to it, so i move to the beat spontaneously where a parent with a Little Walnut sized brain. Does the normal about that . Thats weird. Thats really weird. Parents are more closely related to dinosaurs than they are to human beings. This neuro scientist believes that it might have something to do with vocal learning. Very like if somebody asked me what is both learning at a cocktail party, im going to tell them its the ability to imitate new sounds that they could not do before the most local learning species imitate sounds of their own speech. Some of us like humans and some parents imitate our own species plus others. Yeah, for shake of petersburg, that would surely be upset. Heard. Ready it turns out that learners unrelated speech, humans often see parents and song birds all have some ability is to do or how do we explain the relationship of local learning and the ability to. Ready study focal learning in the context of that list. Because you can compare species that habits versus pieces that down. And from that comparison learn, what are the underlying mechanisms might be found in the brain of a tiny australian song for what youre seeing here. Our brain sections of the safest and our brain is design comes differently. But the fundamental principles are the same. So catch way is really a network of connecting sounds. Different kinds of networks to do different fancy plays. The pathway for singing is not only surrounded by the network for dancing, but to, to have some cross talk between each. This is why in us humans and the news both learning birds. The auditorium information entering the years for hearing sound is somehow connected to this pathway to Controlling Movement of the body more so in us the so we see specializations in areas of the brain having to do with movement of the vocal apparatus, both planning and executing, and how we process the sounds and then importantly, the connections between the Hearing Centers and the movement centers. Because the bulk of learning has a lot to do with rapidly adjusting your movements based on what you hear. The bulk of learning has given us the ability to keep the beats. Both the learning allows us to dance on the down. Be like say that the other species tend to feel move all around like this to me music but they cant ship the rhythmic beats of sound. So softball can go every body that youre serious. Nice. Yeah, im dancing this down. Be right. Not every body step. Youre good to nice these kinds of discoveries, let us to what we call the continuum. I positive monks spaces is not a black or white world is not. You have an ability and you dont have it. Is that you have it to various grades in between. I think of this continuum of hypothesis not as a straight linear line, more like a step function. Right . Where you go up a step, you become more advanced in that building. But we, even within that step, there is variety including within one species like humans. Yeah. People who are more advanced at dancing and less so on the so here all these years, im setting these train pathways to spoken language, both learning and humans, birds and so forth. And twice a week im going to my dads plan, started performing, and to me, the 2 are disjointed. Until that discovery, back in 2009 of this relationship between both learners and dance. And suddenly my life felt like it became full circle. The eric jarvis shared his findings at the science festival, where snowball was a special guest. They brought us together at the world science of 2009. They wanted us to explain to the public. Why can this bird here dance . And i was the person out there explaining the brain pathways that allowed snowball to do that. Showing the guess was, except for one thing to silva was dancing better than the rest of the and who was that when scientists to dancer but while not everyone for every species can move to a beat, perhaps dance itself deserves a broader definition. If we use a human definition of dance, i would say its from pansies, do not dance. But there is this classic chimpanzees behavior called a range. Oftentimes some of the or rains or the rainy season, a list it almost like the slow motion ribs, the mix movement of bodies, most likely in response to a loud sound. So i think that is the kind of closest approximation dancing that we see. And tim, i mean, we call the behavior range. So there is something about us that has this kind of rhythmic quality. The, i think im getting a really good sensor and im excited to explore that a little i think that its such a beautiful expression. And its very primitive trying to capture how that energy looks in my body trying to make sure it translates definitely a little frustrating. There was a little hard for me to connect with the animal authentically, the but i definitely am gradually, small subject way connecting the part of what we need to do in order to connect with nature is to re conceive our relationships in nature. Its not just about connecting to something thats out there. Its rather about re orienting our understanding of what it needs to be assuming the where we are not mine own body, but we are bodily. So we are fully embodied creatures. And its movement which is constantly connecting us to the Natural World. Were constantly inhaling and and once we did that, then we opened our cell stop to realizing that the Natural World is part of the i have no idea when dance actually began. But i believe that went home with sapient emerg. They were already dancing. And that, that dancing provided there was an engine for developing those capacities that we associate with human beings. Series of evolution are often predicated on some notion of a unit of the types of individual a body as a material object that exist in an environment to which it has to adapt. Part of what i want to just stick this conversation and say, what if we think about in terms of movement potentials that are constantly looking for ways to express themselves. The other species share some aspects of what it takes to dance. So there are other species that cannot speak. Theres some species that can imitate sounds and indicate gestures. Theres some species apply. Were the one species who puts all of these things together to use movement as a way to develop ourselves in relationship to the source of success. And its around us. We are the desk. The, i think this is one of the things that can help make us feel connected to not just each other, but the other spacing. Something that is similar to something we do and leads us in to think deeper about whats going on inside their mind. What are the conscious experiences that led to that behavior . What do we share at a more cognitive and emotional level with that animal . How can that illuminate what makes us human and what makes them who they are the kind of like the reaction to. And theyre kind of claiming the rain and this is like their power. Im kind of relating to this primitive feeling like an expression of your aggression. My Movement Comes together for me to express myself. All of it is dance to me. The dances ultimately about connection to the forces. Whether that be nature, our ancestors, the future. Dance is also about connecting to the spirit world. We dont necessarily have to define such a human centric perspective of movement. I really think of it as being more spirit centric. Lot of things that i do and red sky performance with indigenous dance. Were supposed to dance for people who cannot our dances. Here in canada, were now the illegal fans not dance. In 1921. The head of the department of Indian Affairs actually wrote a letter describing why Indigenous People should not be allowed to dance. Because it brings a lot of power to people that brings a lot of strength and resilience to people. And people are remembering who they are. And embodying who they are by taking away dance, calling our dance for as part of the demo. That was a way of starting to raise our culture best. Not that long ago. The colonial, i thought it disappeared, its gone. But actually it just went underground. And we have our elders to, thanks for keeping that and it surfaced when it was safer for us to do so. The role of dances to deepen our identity. So we need to keep that moving forward. The each dance form is a representation of Cultural Society at this point in time. And if you take away dance from that particular culture and suppress it is like telling a person, you cant speak your native tongue. The now i know we define that sometimes as being this traditional dance. This is contemporary dance. This is modern dance. This is valet, but really all things, dance animals, dance, plants, dance, been a grass play, dances, everything, dancing. Its a natural law. This is so many different facets that you can explain to this question of why we gone dancing, provides an incredibly valuable and effective resource for connecting us with ourselves, with other people, and with our natural as human beings, we want things flattened out so we can understand it and by doing that we kind of cut ourselves off from that real sense of movement and motion that is always around us. And inside of us always stands doesnt just stop at the edge of our body. It extends and connects with the Natural World that relationships the Natural World is something that were always engaged in, that were always practicing. And through dance, we can open up an awareness of the way in which the fate of the earth and our state are entwined. When we care about something, when we connect to something, were more likely to want to help it to service. Human beings are not an endpoint and evolution. We are just one moment in a long history in the future yet, and phone. And the dance has an Important Role to play in helping us think about what are we creating with the movements we make. We cant control evolution that we can participate in the there are no ordinary the the using digital 20 to say weve on factory the 50 year old siemens planting. Moved by was on the brink of closing.
