Something Meaningful

“At some point deep in our evolutionary past,” Ms. Kraus explains, natural selection gave us the ability to sense pressure changes with our ears. We developed body parts that “turn the air movement caused by a vibrating guitar string or a spoken word” into something meaningful. 

That's an excerpt from a book review posted to the Wall Street Journal.  You can read it HERE.

The book doesn't interest me, but those two sentences opened a door.  If sound vibrations became "something meaningful" only once we evolved the tools to experience them, then perhaps we are surrounded by other, equally amazing stimuli that we just aren't able to perceive.

Yet.
