The primitive Pithecanthropus erectus
With whom the ethnologists rightly connect us
Defended his own
By cudgel and stone;
Why isn't our ancestor here to protect us?

The arrogant Pithecanthropus erectus
Whose traits, through inheritance, deeply affect us,
Was sure it was good
To grab all he could,
Like some of his offspring whose morals deject us.

The ape man, the Pithecanthropus erectus,
Has many descendants prepared to dissect us;
With them might is right,
And if we can't fight
There's nothing at all that will make them respect us.
