Because of the way the larynx is positioned in the Neanderthal throat, they had high voices and ‘sang soprano’ and may have ‘sung,’ not in words, which would have been difficult, but in tones ... places with naturally resonating harmonics would have been important to them, if the preceding is true, as such properties amplify and modulate tones.

Would that explain the pentatonic scale? It developed in Europe first where there is a higher percentage of Neanderthal DNA.
