Learning About Humanity- An Integral Component to Self-Actualization
Anthropology
You wanna know about culture?
Who developed the suture,
Why do we look into the future?
Let’s look at the history of mankind,
You’ll be surprised at what you find,
There’s a story behind the origin of crime,
That’s why I’m taking the time to rhyme.
Anthropologists study our heritage,
They wanna learn about ancient Carthage,
Works on decayed hominid remains,
They excavate them and ship ‘em on trains.
Take a look at some mummified brains,
Oh wait they took em out when they were embalmed,
You ain’t gonna know that if anthropologists weren’t involved.
They get to the museum,
Put them on display people start perusin’ ‘em.
You’ll see a replica of Lucy,
She’s kinda like our mother you see.
Check out the information given by Bob Martin,
He’ll give you some stuff to get you startin’,
A short history of evolutionary biology,
Followed by 4.6 billion years worth of phylogeny.
He made a big family tree,
Shows that humans are not necessarily free,
We still animals don’t matter if you’re Brazilian or Cree.

We pretty serious about our work,
From the head scientist to his amazing clerk.
It takes dedication to find the split between people and chimps,
We go hard every day what u think we wimps?!
They come in to work with a lot of inspiration
No air conditioning its cool they’ll take the perspiration.
It’s not just a lecture,
This discussion like a vector,
Got direction and magnitude,
Our research has the right attitude.
