P5. A Paradigm Shift À La Kuhn Poem by Margaret Alice

Modern man already existed
2 800 000 years ago
human skull and bones were discovered by
Adrian Bashier and Peter Beaumont
below a layer of earth
2.8 million years old

Modern man had inhabited
a cave in southern Africa
in 100 000 BC already
and human teeth and jaw bones
found in Tanzania
reportedly are
3.75 million years old

Thus modern finds made in the 1970’s
contradict biology textbooks as outmoded
falsely claiming homo erectus evolved
scarcely a million years ago
wrongly indicating that Neanderthalers
were the only humans in existence
100 000 years ago

It is time for a paradigm shift
à la Kuhn, I suppose!
