Music as the Heartbeat of Humanity

Music predates language and plays a fundamental role in human civilization, evidenced by ancient instruments like the 80,000-year-old flutes found in Europe. The act of caring for the injured, symbolized by a healed femur, highlights the deep-rooted compassion in human nature, suggesting that music may have served as a tool for emotional support before language developed. Throughout history, the evolution of human culture, from primitive art to contemporary expressions, reflects a continuous advancement of human creativity. As humanity faced near extinction, cultural flourishing became a pivotal aspect of survival. The current choice between embracing technological determinism or resisting machine-dominated culture emphasizes the importance of preserving human artistry and connection in a rapidly changing world.
