    Homo = person/man

    Sapiens = wise

    What’s this bullshit about?

      And it seems they didn’t live in caves either.

      The only thing I can think of is that it’s implying that as you get smarter you find cavemen more attractive and consider modern humans to be ugly.

        I thought obvious that the joke refers to the misconception some people host that ‘homo sapiens’ is a less evolved species than modern people, something we out-evolved.

          who the fuck is thinking this and why?

            In my experience, it’s usually people trying to overexplain “homo sapiens sapiens” and “homo sapiens neanderthalensis” because they don’t know anything about the topic at hand except those words. Subspecies on the character sheet has always been a technicality issue.

    Are “homo sapiens sapiens” then “ugly ugly caveman” or “ugly caveman man”?

      Although, debatably, homo neanderthalensis is not a subspecies of homo sapiens, thus negating the need for a homo sapiens neandterthalensis and homo sapiens sapiens classification differentiation to exist, making homo sapiens always the modern man (who yes, is also an ugly caveman) and homo neanderthalensis the most recent full time ugly caveman.

        the most recent full time ugly caveman

        This is immensely funny. On the other hand, I think there is indeed some debate about sapiens and neanderthalensis not being different species, thus the meme. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/are-neanderthals-same-species-as-us.html

      I suppose that :

      1. “ugly ugly caveman” -> homo sapiens neanderthalensis
      2. “ugly caveman man” -> homo sapiens sapiens

      This is a physical anthropology taxonomy joke. That’s absolutely a science.

      https://www.britannica.com/topic/Homo-sapiens-sapiens

      Homo sapiens sapiens, in anthropology and paleontology, the subspecies of Homo sapiens that consists of the only living members of genus Homo, modern human beings. Traditionally, this subspecies designation was used by paleontologists and anthropologists to separate modern human beings from more-archaic members of Homo sapiens.

      Yeah, but 99% of the people who supported that endeavour were ugly cavemen.

      A minority of wise men is enough.

      This is about being specieist against neanderthals (homo sapiens neanderthalensis), not about whatever you’re rambling about.

      A concrete building is just a cave. I am ugly. I am an ugly caveman.
