Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The argument is an explanation for why music with a simple recurring rhythm is appealing. The author argues that the reason for this appeal is that it reminds humans of the womb. The author supports the argument by saying the mother’s regular heartbeat is a source of comfort in the womb. Birth takes away the comfort of the womb, including that sound. Therefore, in seeking comfort, it is natural that people are drawn to recurring rhythms that sound like the heartbeat in the womb.

Identify Conclusion
