General A Little Flute Music To Warm The Cave

[NullCurrent]

Archaeologists say they have unearthed the world's oldest musical instruments. They are flutes, made of vulture bone and mammoth tusks. They were found in caves in southwestern Germany and date back to the time when modern human beings — who actually looked like us — were first venturing into Europe.

Scientists have little doubt that music is so basic to human nature that it goes back to our earliest days as a species. It's hard not to make music, when you think about it.

"Clap your hands, tap your foot, dance, sing, whistle. There's endless music you can make just with your body," says Nicholas Conard at Tuebingen University.

You can get drunk off of certian fruits, and sometimes animal waste.

This article further proves that the early caveman was actually social and intelligent. They also must've made a system of government to allow these workers to play music. Today, craftsmen thrive through currency. Maybe they did something different? Maybe the females did this in their free time if they had any (doubt it incredibly). Maybe musicians and artists were priests that were enchanted by the early ideas of the goddess Venus.

Woman held an important rule in early culture and so did sex. Sex, believed by many scientists, was what mankind originally worshiped. Sex brought life into this strange world. It's not hard to believe that our ancestors would praise the magic of reproduce, yet we've seemed to twist into something that's chaste. Funny, huh?

People are so strange.

Do you remember the story of the frozen family on that mountain? They were murdered, yet they were so ancient. Speaking of which, I want to see the missing link. I want to see if it's real.

And from that day they all sat around in their little caves and started every tale they told with "This one time, at band camp..."

Ever thought of the Chinese dynasties? They were intelligent enough to make a powerful governmental system.

Somewhere I've read that in a hunter gatherer society in a good climate the average work hours per day don't have to be above 5 hours.

The Chinese dynasties was about 40000 years after this

Well, it's not like our intelligence goes up with time; only our knowledge can potentially rise.

Hunter/Gatherers worked 4-8 hours a day.
