1-  Materials & Methods

Homo Sonicus Specimens (5):

• Fabrice Favriou - a human of Poitiers, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France

The ratio of subspecies Homo sonicus in relation to the broader Homo sapiens population of Atlantic Canada (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia) was found to be adequate. This finding was supported by the ease in locating Homo sonicus in the surveyed zones, the diversity of sounds harvested from each subject, and the presence of rich punk and experimental music scenes, supported by independent labels, in the towns of Halifax, Saint John, and Fredericton.
