Found in Ach Valley , in the south of Germany , the 8.7 - inch long , one - inch diameter tool has five cakehole , with two vanadium - shaped notches carved on one side of it . This was the part in which the instrumentalist put the lips to muff , according to University of Tubingen ’s professor Nicholas Conard , the atomic number 82 generator of the discovery . The other end is break just on the 5th hole .
Also according to the study , it was capable of producing a note range similar to those of advanced fluting . Conard also points that while music probably did n’t have much to do in the success of the first modern human race , it could have given them an reward against the Neandertal :
Upper Palaeolithic medicine could have contributed to the maintenance of large social meshwork , and thereby have helped help the demographic and territorial expansion of forward-looking humans compare to the more culturally conservative and apart Neanderthals
