Ardipithceus ramidus

In the pristine forests of Ethiopia

four point four million years ago
our great ape hundred pounder grand mother
she had opposable thumbs, she had opposable toes
she walked on two feet
she had human like teethes
she had a husband and a baby and a family
Oh, Ardipithceus ramidus
Ardipithceus ramidus
Shes related to all of us
I was walking with my ancestor to the halls of time
back to four point four million years ago
our great ape hundred pounder grand mother
who was standing there and was kind of swaying to and fro
we stared at each other
she smiled at me
but shes not quite human but not a chimpanzee
