Gummy Skulls Filled with Music

Scientists are still scratching their heads over what to make of these recently-discovered gummy skulls, which they say are filled with songs.  “We realized that these skulls held music after my colleague opened up one of them and heard the sounds of bass guitar,” said Dr. Margaret Laslo, of Ann Arbor, Michigan.  “In twenty years of research I’ve never seen anything like that.”

While there’s still much to learn about these gummy skulls, Laslo said they likely suggest a subspecies of gummy prehistoric humans who thought and communicated in musical notes.  “That’s the only sense we can make of it,” she said.  “Why else would their brains be made of music?”
