If the #Neaderthal #DivjeBabe #BoneFlute is more than 50,000 years old and is tuned to the #PentatonicScale it makes me think that #music and people are deeply interconnected. I got to chatting with someone about this today and they suggested that #BeatBoxing is probably just as well established in our genes. We are #math and #BonkWave could just be eternal. I would love to hear the sound #flute and #BonkBox being performed in a cave system.
