From the Ancient to the Modern, anything music related.
An ancient bone flute segment, estimated at about 43,ooo up to 82,ooo years old, was found recently at a Neanderthal campsite by Dr. Ivan Turk, a paleontologist at the Slovenian Academy of Sciences in Ljubljana.
The find is also important for its implications regarding the evolution of musical scales.
It makes me think of Neanderthals in a whole new light! I knew they had to be sensitive and I bet they didn't drag their woman around by the hair! :)
It's the first flute ever to be associated with Neanderthals and its confirmed age makes it the oldest known musical instrument.
