Don, I would wager that evolution would favor the audiophile and better ears.

How else could one decipher whether a polyrhythmic drum beat meant "come on over for a beer" rather than. "we are coming over to steal your women and kill you", or the tonal difference between a lion's guttural call to her wandering kids, or chastising others to tighten up the stalking pride on the hunt.
