A Bone flutes were probably the only musical instrument made by Neanderthals.
B No musical instrument that is known to have used a diatonic scale is of an earlier date than the flute found at the Neanderthal campsite.
C The flute was made from a cave-bear bone and the campsite at which the flute fragment was excavated was in a cave that also contained skeletal remains of cave bears.
D Flutes are the simplest wind instrument that can be constructed to allow playing a diatonic scale.
E The cave-bear leg bone used to make the Neanderthal flute would have been long enough to make a flute capable of playing a complete diatonic scale.
