It seems that the two earliest instruments were the drum and the flute (or 
whistle). The ability of music to motive humans was not lost to early 
Shamans.  There is some reference to this in Jean Auel's  "Clan of the Cave 
Bear" series.

BTW, I would recommend, this series as great "summer reading".  No doubt 
the series protagonist sent a lot of genotypes  to Xena.  After all she 
invented, among other things, the domestication of animals, the spear 
thrower, the travois, etc.  A "Very Good Read".

I would have like to see Auel and Tappert get together, they could develop 
a Neanderthal Xena series.  For those of you who saw the "Clan of The Cave 
Bear" movie, and were totally turned off, the books  are much better, the 
first book is probably the hardest to bring to the screen.  The second, 
"Valley of Horses" would have been a better choice (and it could have had 
Argo in it).
