The Sound of Flutes ...

...does go way back, as I began to discover (with the rest of the world) over a decade ago. Live Science posted an article in May of 2012 citing the discovery of several 40,000-year-old bone flutes from the Swabian caves system in southern Germany; this discovery is not even controversial, given that those who crafted the flutes were likely early modern humans, rather than Neanderthals. Music has been with us for much longer than 40,000 years, I'm sure; it's a fundamental part of our human journey.
