What roles did music play in the life of prehistoric and ancient people? Are those roles similar to or different from the roles that it plays today?

Music was used for amusement and religious purposes in the lives of prehistoric and ancient peoples. Music's role back then was comparable to its position now; music is still employed as a key form of entertainment and for some religious purposes. It has not really changed compared to pre-historic times.

Answer:

Music in prehistoric times was used as a way of expressing oneself, entertainment, and religious support. The role of music really has not changed from prehistoric times and now.
