I agree. If there are harmonics common to almost all music, it's more
like 3 or 4 of them than 12.

Perfect fifths do. Octaves do to, maybe to a lesser extent. Both are
almost ubiquitous, and not all of the cultures using them learned them
from each other. I think it's more accurate to say that non-notes are
non-notes because we haven't been exposed to them.
If notes are notes only because I've been
"conditioned" for them, why
do the same notes show up in music all over the world?
Simple fact is they don't. Whatever the
explanation, the bushman and Mozart incorporate the
same 12 fundamental harmonics in their music.
No they don't. And there is nothing 'fundamental' to these 12 tones.
