    What is the evolutionary advantage of doing "the robot"?

    Higher chance of attracting a sex machine?

    There is none. it's an evolutionary dead end. No one ever got laid doing the robot.
    Remember, most mutations are not beneficial.

    but why? Is it a mixture of old traits such as attracting a mate, showing good memetic skills, timing needed when hunting?

    I'm not questioning the origins of music, more how are bodies instinctively react to it. I've noticed myself tapping my foot to music without my knowledge of it, I don't consciously choose to start tapping my foot it will just start if I hear music that has an agreeable beat. I'm wondering where this reaction comes from and how it might of started?

    I think having an irresistable urge to dance is far more conducive to camp fire antics than not.
