This text, written as an essay, presents a theoretical reflection about the possible common origins of word and music. Starting from recent studies about the communication processes in the animal and vegetal kingdoms, the text goes through a discussion about the evolution of communication among vertebrates, some concepts from Cognitive Archeology, to arrive finally at Homo sapiens. Next, the communication between adults and babies is discussed, that moment before the child enters the world of symbols – the world of words – and the concepts of Intuitive Parenting and Communicative Musicality are presented. The text ends with a reflection on the "musical" as one of the founders of human life.
