Music wasn't invented, it was discovered.

If music is "organized sound" one could not have discovered it, it must have been created. It is possible to say that Americans "invented" jazz for example.

What I mean is, the theory of it has always existed, but humans have discovered it. It has even existed in nature, as in birds, whales, crickets, etc. The only difference is that nothing consciously knew that was music, until humans came along, discovered it, and gave it that name.

Hey,
I guess it depends what definition of music you use. Are random sounds music? I would agree that there is music in the animal world (some birds and whales organize their sound too), but music to me is more than random sound. It is the fact that the sounds are organized in some way that makes it music to me. Humans invented many ways to organize sounds. So I think music was invented not discovered (for the most part).
The physics of sound have always existed, yes; but the theory of it has been developed throughout our history.
taciturn-I enjoy your posts, and the fact that you put your name on them. Anonymous posts are worthless usually and gutless always.
GOOOOOOROOOOOO
