Collective, synchronous music-making is far from ubiquitous across traditional, small-scale societies. We describe societies that lack collective music and offer hypotheses to help explain this cultural variation. Without identifying the factors that explain variation in collective music-making across these societies, theories of music evolution based on social bonding (Savage et al.) or coalition signaling (Mehr et al.) remain incomplete.
集体同步音乐演奏在传统的小规模社会中远非无处不在。我们描述了缺乏集体音乐的社会，并提出了一些假设来帮助解释这种文化差异。如果不找出解释这些社会中集体音乐演奏差异的因素，那么基于社交纽带（Savage 等人）或联盟信号（Mehr 等人）的音乐进化理论仍然是不完整的。
