Have consequences of patriarchy (arranged marriages where the women cannot pick, sex slavery, etc) affected human evolution since women have not historically been able to really choose a person to mate with?
Language influences pretty much every one of our vocalizations. Even the random babbling of infants is influenced by their mother tongue. But if you went back in time, how would early humans sound like? Would they sound like the wooping calls of a chimpanzee? Or would they just sound like a normal dude yelling and such?
Not literally
So I have a hobby of picking up redundant media like old reel to reel tapes from car boot sales, etc. and have recently started listening to some mail audio tapes I picked up a few weeks ago. I've just started listening to one that includes a lot of chanting interspersed with commentary from an American man, and references are made to it being a 'Sing Sing' and occurring near the 'Upper Ramu River'. A quick Google tells me that these features suggest the tape is of a Sing Sing in Papua New Guinea, and the American speaker mentions that he is affiliated with a local mission and is using their tape recorder. The tape is likely from the 1960s based on the design of the packaging - it's obviously an amateur recording but it's mostly clear and easy to listen to.
I just wanted to see if this type of audio recording would have any anthropological value/be of interest to relevant experts? I'm not asking for money for it but just want to try and understand the potential significance (or lack thereof) of what I have found. I have yet to listen to the other tapes so their contents are unknown, and they may or may not be related.
