Why do people start to "beat" involuntarily when they listen to music?

I believe everyone has this experience. Sometimes when listening to music, one’s feet begin to beat the beat unconsciously. Is there really such a kind of dance rhythm that can defeat reason and make people want to move to the beat? In addition to overwhelming reason, does this rhythm also transcend cultures and languages? What is the reason behind this? People all over the world seem to move to the beat of music, whether it's in an intricate way that resembles dancing, or something like clapping or tapping the balls of their feet. But how does one break down these behaviors into propositions that can be studied scientifically?

What we call musical rhythm—singing, dancing, or other activities that follow a beat—is just one form of biological rhythm. There are countless other examples: courting fireflies flash their fluorescence in synchrony; cheetahs chase in unison with antelopes fleeing for their lives; millions of bats fly together like smoke curling up in the night sky; wolves and killer whales hunt in highly coordinated groups Action; the natural courtship dance of tropical birds. Clearly, rhythm is the basis of life? This fact is reflected in the rich connections between sense organs and muscles, sensory areas and motor areas in the brains of all animals. In fact, the fundamental purpose of neurons and the brain is to form those connections: to guide behavior based on information gleaned from the outside world.

We all have an innate sense of rhythm, and this requires a suitable environment to manifest.

Perhaps it’s not that we are special or superior in terms of biological mechanisms, but that we are better at creating the right environment. Some scholars believe that our primitive ancestors were able to sing and dance before acquiring language, and invested a lot of resources in ritual performances and the production of drums and flutes. Today, music is with us at every stage of our lives, from the lullabies of childhood to the elegy of death. We may not be the only species to have a sense of rhythm, but we are the only species to regard music and dance as a universal culture. We have become the species best at keeping up.
