Gary Tomlinson is a Professor of Music and Humanities at Yale University. Trained as a musicologist, his work in recent years has focused on issues of biological and cultural evolution in humans and other animals, resulting in an “evolution trilogy”: A Million Years of Music: The Emergence of Human Modernity (Zone Books, 2015), on the evolution of human musical capacities; Culture and the Course of Human Evolution (Zone Books, 2018), on the emergence of cultural complexity in ancient hominins; and The Machines of Evolution and the Scope of Meaning (Zone Books, 2023), on the evolution and scope of meaning-making among nonhuman animals. Tomlinson’s writings take up subjects as diverse as opera history, early-modern European musical thought and practice, the musical cultures of indigenous American societies, and posthumanist theory.
