1. Rhythm is a fundamental ingredient of music: without rhythm music would be no more than pleasant, rhythm makes it hypnotic and sensuous. Listeners surrender to rhythmical music easily, it is a kind of enchantment.
2. Concept of rhythm lies in heart-beating, our first sensation of pulse is our mother's heartbeat in the womb. But only humans, unlike other mammals, like to dance or play the castanets. So it would be natural to suppose that the key moment was when homo sapience started to walk upright on their feet. Thus was established basic beat with two feet, which people could speed up or slow down.
3. In music rhythm has an Italian name - 'tempo' (andante, allegro, largo, presto).
4. Swing - a genre of music which appeared in the US in the early 1930s. Swing is based on a strong drum-and-beat section, the main line in swing 'looses' itself from the rhythm of the pulse as melody unfolds.
