Music is in our DNA and so are genes from our ancestors even down to the Neanderthals. Somewhere hidden in our consciousness is a memory of the music from prehistoric times. That we can't access that memory doesn't mean it isn't there. Somewhere someone will unknowingly perform the music of ancient ancestors. Traditions too are persistent. There must be cultures still around in which the music of prehistoric people continues to be performed and many more whose sounds were recorded by musicologists as far back as the 1890s. I'm collecting the sounds of these traditions and those someones out there.
