                                                           show that Neanderthals had
                                                           no "primitive" features as

                                                           how Darwinism rests on
                                                           prejudice and propaganda,
                                                           not on scientific discoveries.



             from the thighbone of a bear, was found by the archaeologist Ivan Turk in
             a cave in northern Yugoslavia in July 1995. Musicologist Bob Fink then
             analyzed it. Fink proved that this flute, thought by radio-carbon testing to
             be between 43,000 and 67,000 years old, produced four notes, and that it
             had half and full tones. This discovery shows that Neanderthals used the
             seven-note scale, the basic formula of western music. Fink, who examined
             the flute, states that "the distance between the second and third holes on
             the old flute is double that between the third and fourth." This means that
             the first distance represents a full note, and the distance next to it a half
             note. Fink says, "These three notes … are inescapably diatonic and will
             sound like a near-perfect fit within any kind of standard diatonic scale,
             modern or antique," thus revealing that Neanderthals were people with
             an ear for and knowledge of music. 204
