Salt Lake City, UT – Music - according to neuroscientist Daniel Levitin - is the "soundtrack of civilization." In his latest book, Levitin argues that music played an important role in our evolutionary process, and that songs of friendship, joy, comfort, knowledge, religion and love have made us who we are today. Tuesday, Daniel Levitin joins Doug to talk about "The World in Six Songs."
