I've often asked myself the same questions about music. One interesting aspect is that mankind may have first been imitating birds and other wildlife. NPR did a feature on how the notes of an old jazz song were sung by birds hanging out in New Orleans' French Quarter. So who sang/played them first...the birds or the composer?

That analysis was very interesting, even to someone with no music education.
