Once Upon a Time, People Whistled to Communicate
Once upon a time, someone asked; if we whistle in a forest but are all alone, can anyone hear us? Whistles are interesting actions. They used it back in Paleolithic times to communicate, try to trick animals into being hunted, attract birds, and probably as mating rituals as well. Would the bride-to-be select the most melodic one to pick her suitor? Or would the strongest win the challenge? Some may have made a complete song out of it. I know I would. I will not let myself be beaten. Not whistling anyway. Wrestling is a different story.
