Music is walking?

Why are we musical? I mean why are we even to hold a tempo in music in a robotic way? I had some showerthoughts on this.

Let’s assume that our human cognition developed under the adaptive stress of covering vast distances of savannah-like landscapes. We became bipedal and faced the challenges of navigating complex terrain. Strength alone didn’t help us. We had to develop mental capabilities to overcome these challenges. Our subconcious takes over this activity of walking. Left. Right. Left. Right. When I look at the strong drive of toddlers to begin walking I can’t help but think that this informs our whole being in ways I often underestimate. Is that why we are highly rhythmical?
