Dear All,

All members of the Science Explorers Club of AECS, Staff Club of RRCAT and HBNI scholars are invited to the screening.

Episode Brief: The Song of the Earth

This natural history of music begins with Attenborough playing the piano. Searching for the origins of human music, he traces its connections to the musical sounds that other animals make: the beauty of the wolf's howl, the complexity of the bat's cry, the deep rumble of the elephant's signals, the acoustically sophisticated sounds the dolphin produces and the songs of whales and birds. Why do these animals produce this amazing variety of sounds? It's all tied up with sex and territory. (Source Wikipedia).
