Comparative origins of Torah cantillation traditions?

I was just watching some videos of Jews from different diasporic communities reading Torah according to their respective traditions of taʿamei ha-miqra (cantillation/trope).

To my understanding, even though these traditions have diverged widely across time and geography, most (if not all) communities use essentially the same notation system for marking melody and prosody. That seems to suggest—though not necessarily prove—a common origin for the various reading traditions.

Does anyone know of any research that has used a comparative or historical-linguistic method to trace the development of the different cantillation traditions? And if there was a common ancestor to most (or all) diaspora traditions, has anyone tried to reconstruct what it might have sounded like?

On a side note, I’m also thinking of cross-posting this in r/ethnomusicology. Any other subreddits you’d recommend where people might have relevant knowledge or sources?
