maybe dry bones preserve better than cloth or leather ๐Ÿคท

It is implied that the "earliest indication" of pants is the sculpture on the right, which makes it even more silly. It's not even ancient cloth that was preserved to prove the existence of pants, but a stone sculpture that showed a person wearing them.

What about hats, were there men without hats performing music?

Cause their friends got pants, and if they got pants, then they ain't no friends of mine

What do you mean those birds? You're a penguin!

Although I do hear your species can manage bow ties and tighty whities.

At least one ancient flute was made with approximately the same octave shifts in notes that we use today. The musicality is built into us at a genetic level to appreciate as we do.

I have a theory that desire for music in some animals (including us) began because of our heartbeats. Heartbeats would also be associated with being embraced by someone (head to chest) which could also connect to our fondness of it.

Hmm, this makes me wonder if there's a correlation between musical interest and the presence of a embracing parent at birth.

I wonder if it's the same rate as speech. Birds and whales seem to be the only other animals to sing and it's commected to speech.

Speak for yourself - thatโ€™s music I could love. Even better if a Crow/Grimm/Helsing conducts the orchestra

An octive is literally twice the frequency of the notes below it, how is that genetic? The only thing that unique in music is that a 3/2 ratio (a perfect fifth) only makes sense in 5, 7, and 12 note scales and even then it's slightly out of tune by a couple of cents so you can either use relative temperment or even temperment depending on preference. Alternatively you can optimize for other ratios and get all microtonal.

even if this is true, there are other, much cooler types of clothing than trousers that still cover your arse

Turns out Oshkosh and Oshkosh B'gosh make different stuff. My sister is going to be confused at the baby shower I think.

It's actually an MRAP. Might have been one of those "moreso for me" gifts

Imagine my confusion when all I could buy was a sagum and tunic. Turns out I was shopping at Oshkosh Ostragoth

My takeaway from your post is "Tunic" and "Goth". I'm just imagining playing Legend of Zelda Ocerina of Time. Young Link wears the green tunic, and teenager Link wears a black Tunic. With white face paint, and black details on his face. And he dyed his hair black.

I had to google this (because I'm not from the US) and I'd be super surprised if their tagline became "cooler than trousers but still covers your arse"

I'm not convinced that this isn't a planted fossil. It is just too much of an outlier in the fossil record.

'Pants'? So what are you supposed to do when you need to drain the stegosaurus? Take them off again?

Roughly 11โ€ of the British Trouser to 9.5โ€ of the American Pantaloon.

TIL it took 40,000 years for the saying โ€œdance your pants offโ€ to make sense.
