Liujiang Man Music.

GeraldtheGnome: There are assumptions that Liujiang Man Humans were around before or after 139,000 years ago, which I'll round off to 137,900 BC, but it's most likely, though assumed, that they were around during 137,900 BC. But it is not assumed that before, during or after 137,900 BC that they had any Vocal or Instrumental Music in use. Though it is possible though, but an unlikely assumption, just as is that they Hummed musically first, then Sang and then used Musical Instruments or that one used a Musical Instrument. Technically that should be considered to be 137,899 BC instead though.

allenmayes: did the chinese invent music?

GeraldtheGnome: No. But it is assumed that in what is now China may possibly have had Humans of one or more or all Species and/or Subspecies and/or Hybrids, including Liujiang Man Humans (as the Sexist name goes) that may have used the first Human form of Music by Humming at first and then later on Singing. Which is credible and possible, maybe not correct, but it might be. Besides forms of Music was around well before even the first one of the Species and/or Subspecies of Humans was ever even born.
