Why do we dance? In this episode of Earth Science Investigators, our favourite undercover alien janitors are on a mission to figure out what on earth is going on with human and animal movement!
Discover what happens inside the brain's auditory cortex when we hear a beat, how the human body coordinates balance, and why repeat practice physically alters your neural pathways through myelin thickening. Plus, we look at the animal kingdom to see why Honeybees, Birds of Paradise, and Alpacas use dance for communication and survival—and dig deep into history to track the very first cave paintings of dance dating back 10,000 years!
