He took shelter with his entire clan. There once was a napper of stone, There once was a group named Oasis, The Neaderthal lived in a cave, Atavistic behavior is boring. The ape-man Pithecanthropus erectus, Oh come all and take a good gander Evolving has worked cleverly; Charles Darwin was slow to direct us (one consonant changes condor to condom - McW)

Come tourists fro near and afar,
To gawk at old art
Some rendered in part
With carbon, and boarshit, and tar.

A sequel, 'The ascent of Man.'
The Atom Bomb -- BOOM
And up up we zoom.
Sub titled, 'The Ass End Of Man.'

To live on the ground, if you please.
From the progress he's made,
And the talents displayed,
It is time to go back to the trees.
--- Albin Chaplin 3024-2788
Whose club was incredibly big;
But the girls had no word
For a tool so absurd,
So they dubbed it a "thingumajig."
--- Mark Levy P0204
That explains why we have eye and ear,
Why we have upright walk
And why we can talk --
Big tits and appendix aren't clear.
--- Arthur Deex P8810a
Of man with gargantuan penis;
In the faith humankind,
Will not be confined,
With twig sized proportional weenis.
--- Anon

But he thought that it meant.
Bring your club when you went
To more easily bop some broad's head.

Darwin's theory and tells how it fails,
"Don't believe all those japes
That we're children of apes --
My ancestors," he said, "come from Wales."
--- Bob Giandomenico P8810
Around in a cool mossy glade,
And he said, "All my life
I have feared a young wife,
A fear that will now be allayed."
--- Limber Limericks
They typically tried to make passes
At large carnivores,
Who would bone them like whores,
And they'd die of tyrannosore-arses.
It's impressive, I'm sure you'll agree.
The chart, though immense,
Will, with effort, condense:
"From Cheetah to Tarzan to me."
--- Arthur Deex
Spied a female and screwed her with glee.
It's good no disfuncion
Curtailed their conjunction,
For their fun led to my pedigree.
--- Julia Strawn P8810
And here's what the diagram showed:
If it changed one scintilla,
He'd have been a gorilla
And the jungle would be his abode.
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0306
Where babies came from was a mystery;
Till a Cro-Magnon virgin
Whose hormones were surgin',
Had Neanderthal kids. End of mystery.

Their famous court battle -- Charles Darwin
Who watched from above
Gave Adam a shove
And said with a drawl, "Ah guess Ah win."
--- Irving Superior P8810
When humans at last cease to be.
Will some sad primate
Then degenerate
Into something like you and like me?
--- Anon
Like us they are horny and spunky,
And compared to the French,
Who are known for their stench,
The monkeys don't smell all that funky.
--- Anon
"People don't come from apes or some frog;
So trust me you must;
My argument's just:
Genus homo's created by Dog."
--- Armand Singer
And no one is disfrait.
He has no drag
With maid or hag
In this enlightened day.

If she can do her pedigree.
Which is truly unfair,
Other kids think she's square,
'Cause there's branches in our family tree.

We at first took the shape
Of a primitive ape,
But then gradually re-engineered.

B.C. Brown all aglow
Plants his crops in a row.
Too bad it was just a rock garden.

"No, it's Adam and Eve!" one declares.
But I am no fool,
And I learned at my school,
We descended of course, from four bears.

Our gene pool's main source is Australian.

We won't let the riddle escape;
Your enigma is solved
Where mankind evolved:
A gregarious anthropoid ape.

Now while in his classes,
Without using his glasses,
He can see the Homo sapiens.

"I was raped by a male brontosaurus."
Her mother said, "Pshaw!
I'd blame either your paw
Or that Homo erectus called Horace."
--- Arthur Deex P9703
It's there to be seen in reflection;
To me nothing's clearer,
When faced with a mirror,
I'm the pinnacle of perfection.
--- Anon
But we women have guile to protect us;
With the wink of an eye
We can transmogrify
Homo sap. into Homo erectus.

Cried out with historical zeal:
"I'm the first man alive
Who can go for a drive,
Because I've invented the wheel."
--- Charles Barsotti
I was shocked as ever could be.
There's no variations
In my past relations.
All were lazy and dumb, just like me.
--- Jerry Mendelson TP9804
Who boasted his ancient descent.
In fact you could trace
From the cast of his face,
How far back his pedigree went.

That Man to Ape (not Eve) relates.
Whose sons are we?
Brings up Premise Three --
From bitches Man originates.

A nomadic life he did not plan.
He was not prone to roam
From his one room cave home.
He was not a MEANDERTHAL man.
--- Loren Fitzhugh
Who lived in a cave all alone;
He wanted a bride,
But couldn't decide:
Neanderthal or Cro-Magnon?
--- Rosy Bouche P9803a
Whose eyebrows met on their faces.
When asked why this was,
They said it's because
We come from Neanderthal races.
--- Richard Long
And used cold glacial melt for a lave.
He wore both hide and hair
Of the Ice Age cave bear,
And never did bother to shave.

You're not a Neanderthal, roaring
And waving your arm,
Like some jerk bent on harm.
You're most likely to set me to snoring.
--- Mimi
Has many offspring to dissect us.
With them, might is right,
And if we can't fight,
There's nothing to make them respect us.

At this curious archaic Neander-

Of true moderns, 'twould seem,
But a backward and stagnant meander.

Two eyes for stereoscopy;
At the end of each wrist,
A most inticate fist,
And two legs, so much better than three.

To the condor's uncertain prospectus.
Consonation mutation
Means reincarnation
As accessory to Homo erectus.

And it pains me if I should sound sexist.
We must take a stand.
Our ancestry's not bland.
We're from Pithecanthropus Erectus

That man has evolved from baboons.
He learned how to shave
And live in a cave,
Hairy legs covered by PANTALOONS.

Or even be left in the game,
Except mating done,
For pleasure and fun,
And dressed up in Eros' fair name.

It's only ourselves that we dupe.
There's no point in skirting
The fact I'm reverting,
Straight back to primordial soup.

"From your offspring, my dears,
In not too many years,
May evolve a professor at Yale."

First survival, then love, kids come next.
They continue our line;
Deter species decline.
Brains, brawn, culture, footnotes the main text.
--- Esther Koch P0204
With whom the ethnologists connect us,
Defended his own
By cudgel and stone.
Why isn't he here to protect us?
--- Arthur Guiterman
"That among human sisters and brothers
With their various shapes,
Some descended from apes
More recently than did some others."
--- A N Wilkins P8810
Does not necessarily mean,
We get better per se:
There's a chance that one day
We'll evolve into what we have been!
--- Anon
Their lunacy's truly extended;
There's a knot I can see,
Up my family tree,
Where it seems that all sanity ended.
--- Cap'n Bean P0306
Claims people take up too much space,
So now he is thinking
Of working on shrinking
Mankind to a half-pint sized race.

Due to high IQ with which to strive.
It was BO, the stink,
That made carnivores think
Twice 'fore eating him or his wive.

I should get out more when I can.
'Twould require better clothes
But for now I shall close, with
Respectfully yours, Stone Age Man.

Whose traits, through inheritance, affect us,
Was sure it was good
To grab all he could,
Like some of those whose morals deject us.
--- Arthur Guiterman
His thoughts made his visage seem stern.
They say, "Way back when,
We evolved into men."
So where did they take the wrong turn?
--- Arnie Schoenbrun P0306
Traced their family tree, they admit,
So far in the past,
They discovered at last,
Their ancestors climbing in it.
--- A N Wilkins
For our sins some say Jesus rose.
And Australopithecus
Had tales quite mythic; us
Moderns will have to suppose.
--- Anon
A dragging by hair through the door.
It was "Vidi Vici"
With guttural "Veni"
With courtship considered a bore.
--- Irving Superior P9711
To evolve? Evolution's not fast.
I'm sure we will see
Eventually
A creature more smart and whole-assed.
--- Sam Shaffe P8810
The first man came down out of the tree.
And what revolution
Brought this evolution?
More likely, his wife had to pee.

Went hunting, a tiger to bag.
After eating his meat,
One of them was replete,
And went off to look for a shag.
--- TuttaGioia
Was very much taken aback,
'Cause the Marquis de Sade
Had not yet been made,
When his mate gave his prick a great whack.
--- TuttaGioia
Was the very first osteopath.
But he never got paid,
The bills never made,
'Cause they hadn't invented the math.
--- TuttaGioia
Thought, "I think what I want, is concave...
Or is it convex?
I know I want sex!
I wonder if other shapes they've.
--- TuttaGioia a
Was searching her crack for a flea.
The flea went for a ride
Right up inside,
'Cause it jumped on her finger, you see.
