Who am I?
Where did I come from?
What’s in my blood?
How did I become human?
Did I evolve from Ardipithecus ramidus
Or Sahlanthropus tchadensis
Maybe Australopithecus afarensis
Or Homo heidelbergensis
Did I once live in the Rift Valley?
Did I leave my footprints at Laetoli?
I could be Ardi or Lucy or the Taung baby
It’s the mystery of phylogeny
Who am I?
Where did I come from?
What’s in my blood?
How did I become human?
Why is 98% of my DNA the exact same as a chimpanzee?
And my chromosomes 2 X 23 look a lot like a chicken’s you better believe
Neandertal genome revealed a secret you see
Interbreeding perhaps led to you and me
Maybe Adam and Eve really planted the seed
But I don’t believe in Creationism theory
Who am I?
Where did I come from?
What’s in my blood?
How did I become human?
