Prehistory
Prehistorical evidence for music is dependent on the age in which recorded history is kept with the timelines widely divergent based upon the people and extent records of the era. Examples include the history and origins Native American music of preliterate tribes and Australian Aboriginal music.
The oldest claimed musical objects are paleolithic flutes, made of various types of bone with several finger holes and a mouthpiece for playing. The oldest claimed item is the Divje Babe Flute dating back 43,000 years ago, claimed to been made by Neanderthals or Cro-Magnon man.[1] The Hohle Fels flute has also been claimed to be the oldest instrument, dating other finds dating back more than 40,000 years.[2][3][4] The oldest wooden instruments are flutes made 4,000 years ago by prehistoric man in Ireland.[5]
Artwork potentially showing man playing a flute has been found in the Magdalenian cave, but the interpretation is speculative.[6]
