It goes like this thud, thud thud. It was produced by the stone age people using a stone and two animal thigh bones.

Einstein established that the sound of the universe hums in B flat. I suppose that would be the oldest note. As for a system, bearing in mind that music is a language, I would have to say that it is all one and the same system, changing and morphing over time. I really don't know.

I see where you are going with this. Thanks for a good question. I am no expert, but two random thoughts. First, I believe the "bushmen" of Africa have a musical tradition (as do the Aborigines of Australia) that would predate the Vedic period. A second thought: being a student of pre-history, I can share that the evolution of the larynx leads us to believe that humming may have been the first music.
