This reads like a press release for the study instead of a news story about the contents of the study itself. Online web articles have the distinct privilege to the business of news publications and disadvantage to the readers by being able to achieve this. I really hope that this did not appear in the print edition, or at least appeared in a lengthier format. I had to double check to make sure that this wasn't paywalled.
I don't have anything against your decision to share this though. Evidently I was curious. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that the study actually addresses "why" people make music, but just studies the shared characteristics of music across cultures.
