Music’s Origins Predate Humanity

Shocking discovery: primitive music began long before humans existed. Our closest relatives,

chimpanzees, demonstrate intentional rhythmic drumming with non-random timing patterns.

This reveals music's evolutionary roots stretch back millions of years to our common ancestors.

Ancient bone flutes dating back 40,000 years prove early humans prioritized music alongside

survival needs. Music likely evolved serving multiple purposes - attracting mates,

strengthening social bonds, and communicating before language developed.

From primal rhythms to complex symphonies, music isn't just entertainment but fundamental to our

humanity.
