Interesting fact of the day: The first archaeological evidence of instruments, a flute, was **not** made by humans, in fact, it was made by a neanderthal and is 60,000 years old.
@freemo Considering that the majority of humanity have like 2% Neanderthal-DNA (I think I've read that somewhere), we can make the claim anyway! Ha!
@trinsec lol typical
It all comes downt o definition... the first musical instrument would be ones voice, after that perhaps a woodpecker or the beating of the tail of a beaver or similar.. I'm sure some human hit two sticks together like a drum at one point too...
I think if you really want to define a musical instrument for this context in a meaningful way it would have to be some object that had to be formed to make sounds it couldnt naturally do.
@freemo Tell that the parent organization of our school. They took over our school that's existed for over 2 centuries now. Now that org, which is probably at most a few decades old, makes the claim that they've existed 'for 200 years!'... 🤨
So I'll just follow suit. Us humans invented the damn flute, and that's that! *Stomps on floor*
