ancestry , archaeology and other things

1 millionyears ago , a man appeared out of lake turkana in kenya 

he had buried his twelve year old son in its bank,

he had a sloping forehead , half the brain of a modern human

and no chin..

he ventured out of africa .and his sons and grandsons copulated with

the chinless women of middle east and europe..

some of them went to southern russia 

and rolled with the wild horses and tribes of the never ending steppes..

they were to enter india 

scores of lakhs of years later..

the half brains grew double, the chins appeared out of nowhere.

and the sloping foreheads rounded beautifully,

women and men were presentable.

then in india,

far south of the himalayas, arising from a subspecies 

born out of a climatic divide,

a brainless youngman(as they always are, when in love) 

is working out his ancestry..

thinking of his ambitions in a queer world

cursing his ancestors for his failed love..

once in a while rubbing his 

slightly sloping forehead  that 

came from the twelve year old boy in lake turkana ..

now described by the archaeologists who dug him out of his grave..

as 

A COMPLETE FOSSIL SKELETON EXTREMELY USEFUL IN TRACING THE 

EVOLUTION OF HOMO SAPIENS...
