Explain the following statement: “Euro-Americans may disagree with the Kaluli over whether bird songs have meaning, but they both agree that music has human meaning.”

What will be an ideal response?

• To Euro-Americans songs of birds do not belong to the human world and so are not human expression.
• To the Kaluli the birds' songs represent the voices of their deceased ancestors who have died and changed into birds and so their song represents human meaning to them.
• Both cultures, however, agree that all music must have human meaning to be called "music."
