On psycologytoday.com they had an article called Which Came First: Music or Language?“The modern human brain came into being 50,000 to 100,000 years ago. The oldest instrument, a bone flute dated at 40,000 years old, was discovered in Germany a few years ago. It's not a large leap to think that singing emerged before more sophisticated wind playing. This archaeological evidence provides support for the idea that artistry, creativity, and music were a part of our ancestors' lives as the modern human brain was developing.”
