Recent discoveries point to the fact that cavemen liked to paaarty! Flutes made from bird bones were recovered from the Jiahu archaeological site in Henan Province, China.

The 9,000-year-old flutes are made from hollowed bird bones, and have between 5 and 8 holes. It may be one of the oldest musical instruments ever played, although scientists do know of a 45,000-year-old, so-called Neanderthal flute made of a hollow bear bone that was dug up in Slovenia in 1995.

Jiahu was occupied between around 7,000 and 5,700 BC. Scientist believes they have just scratched the surface of discovery.

Maybe they’ll find a guitar and drum set next…
