I agree with most skeptical commenters. I once read about a study of singing in traditional cultures. Men and women would sing the same melody, except one octave apart due to differences in physiology. Reportedly, they did not perceive their singing to be separated by any interval; they perceived that they were singing in unison.

- isolli 6y agoI don't disagree, but rather it looks like their hypothesis is difficult to falsify.
