The 60,000-year-old artefact rewriting Neanderthal history – BBC REEL

In 1995, archaeologist Ivan Turk discovered a unique perforated bone in the Divje Babe cave in Slovenia. The artefact was found in the middle of a palaeolithic layer of earth, near the remains of a Neanderthal fire place, stone and bone tools. Extensive experimental research confirmed that the holes in the bone were hand-made and that the bone was likely a neanderthal flute, between 50,000 to 60,000 years old. This makes it the world’s oldest musical instrument and an object that could re-write our assumptions about the fundamental humanity of our Neanderthal cousins.
