First animal love songs
Many animals produce mating-calls and more complex sequences of sounds that may be
termed "love-songs."
Insects, for instance, generate involved musical sequences and many water-living creatures
produce sounds, some
of which are outside the range of human hearing. Amphibians first produced love-songs that
could have been
heard by human beings had there been any alive at the time. Amphibians first started singing to
each other on dry
land, somewhere between two hundred and three hundred and fifty million years ago, in the
Carboniferous
Period. Thus Wendt - ". . . we can scarcely imagine that the as yet unknown ancestors of frogs
who lived in the
earlier Paleozoic Era did not jump and croak. How otherwise would they have met for
mating?" Perhaps the
argument is not conclusive but it is oddly romantic to think of animals first beginning to
communicate by sound.
