Ardipithecus? Australopithecus?
Complete jargon, absolutely senseless.
Ewww, and those teeth, all decayed,
No wonder their lineage withered away.

Homo habilis, well shall we see ...
And what is that supposed to mean?
Ugh, OH 24 is utterly disgusting,
Must have been the ugly duckling.

“Homo erectus”?! Did they write this for Playboy?
Oh, right, just another clever ploy.
Grab the reader’s attention, that’s it!
Thank God that explanation fits!

Homo heidelbergensis, neanderthalensis
Why, “Homo” on every tree limb!
Were they promiscuous homosexuals?
Did they frequent bars, those creatures nocturnal?

Sickly pictures, rotting teeth;
And for homework, I’ve to look at these.
And take notes, too, and review for tests.
Everything such a horrible mess!

The above is a frontal view of Sangiran 17, classified by most paleoanthropologists to the species Homo erectus.
Cute, isn't it? ... :-P
