The fact that these bones are able to produce a sound doesn't necessary means that they were
used as musical instruments before Shiva.
Here is a study about these bones chewed by hyenas.

Not just hyenas but many other carnivorous animals were very keen on sucking the nutritious bone marrow after an animal was killed.
Breaking the extremes of the bone was not enough to get the marrow out so they probably realized that by digging holes the bone marrow would come out easier.
This study seem rubbish but again we have seen monkeys breaking hard nuts with stones.
It also could well be that men created these producing sound instruments by pure chance and this is a more credible fact.
It is impossible to know considering the time gone by.
In any case it is unlikely that these primitive men understood the 7 notes.
We can produce sound even without the 7 notes by playing seashells or different things.
On the other there is a lot of history about Shiva and the 7 notes.

What a load of horse shit. This isn't history. It's just a bunch of baseless assertions. It's more religious myth. In a word, dogma. Where's your evidence that Shiva did any of this shit?
After so many thousand years is rather difficult to provide evidence.
In this case people can only believe or not believe on the ground whether it make sense or not.
Considering that according the history Shiva also did a lot of other great things as you can see
in the link that I previously posted it make sense.
It also make sense because the whole Indian subcontinent is full of Shiva History and is unlikely that
a billion people follow someone who never existed and never did the things attributed to him.
Beside how many people claim that they invented the 7 notes, yoga, the marriage system, Ayurvedic
medicine and so many other things?
Did you or any of your friends ever claimed that?
