Neanderthals created first musical instruments

Please - no more talk of terrifying African hoodoo. I am getting a stomach ache.

I did not say Europe lack dance, narrative or religious music, dimwit. Those purposes are ancient hominid ones that are a fundamental base, it is the way that they evolved and the mentality that made them so fundamentally different. Compare a primitive African chant, complete with masks and jumping, to St Matthew's Passion by Bach. Compare booty shaking with some conga accompaniment to an aristocratic ball. Stories in musical form became into ballet, opera, etc. All these expressions and crafts came to be because of the appreciation of music itself. Same why visual arts did not exist in Africa outside of religious purpose, with a few exceptions of obvious foreign influence

It's nonsense because savant music as such is an innovation that barely happened yesterday, relative to the known history of music.
No sensible person would suggest that it emerged because of the sudden resurgence of the Neanderthal soul, about 27 600 after its disappearance.

Things like this are just so pathetic. Just look at those two perfectly round holes. You're telling me a hyena managed that? I can't believe how low these scum will sink to try and defend their fantasy version of black powah prehistory.

Hyenas in Slovenia??

And you know this because...?

We only have sheet music going back to roman times and don't even know how it works. Could have been millions of mozarts in prehistory.

I believe there used to be. Lions also until recently.
