Nope! For a million years people spent a lot of effort on culture which meant their tunes (drum rhymes) and dance movements were quite advanced.

Maybe we prefer a more primitive lifestyle.

We found dance foot pattern fossils or something?
We know a few near-neolithic tribes right now.
We don't have good evidence for cognitively modern (vs anatomically) humans, cognitively modern including any known current tribes, beyond 200,000 years or so, other than I think there was some recent stuff finding decorative patterns a bit further back that might indicate it goes back more.
