CURT NOTE FROM AN “AUSTRALOPITHECINE”

Dear Sapiens,

Thanks for the "genus" moniker. You sure put those humming 1350cc of gray matter to good use.  May the ultraparvihirsute palaeoanthropologists of YOUR future who dig up YOUR empty skulls bestow on YOU something equally unpronounceable.  And FYI, we called ourselves—   But why should I make YOUR taxonomic lives any easier?
