Two Humanis Humanis’s walked into the entrance of the Megapolitan Museum of Natural History. The one was named Rong and the other, Wroo.
They walked over to the Hall of Humanis History. Once inside they saw that there was only three displays so they went to the first one. It was a life size model of a primitive Humanis, as were both the other two models.
‘Humanis Asiaticus’ the plaque stated. They pushed the button for the accompanying vocal recording, which would serve as guide. “Humanis Asaiticus” a voice spoke from above “ is the species from which the modern Humanis evolved. It was a productive species and the only one to survive the consequences of the last Great War of Mankind in 2050 A.D. They subsequently ruled the earth from this period until approximately 40 000 A.D. when, because of their tranquil vegetarian existence, they evolved into modern day Humanis Humanis. The latter species having such accomplishments as the colonization of the galaxy to their credit.” The voice ended.
The next display was of a fairly large hominid of light complexion. ‘Humanis Europus’ the plaque stated. Rong pressed the button so that they could listen to the recording.
“Humanis Europus was an exploitive violent Hominid that forced his fellow species into subjugation by means of treachery and violence. He wrongly assumed his twenty-first century culture to be advanced both scientifically and morally. They fought in the last Great War against the other two Humanis Species. As a result the decimated Humanis Europus population ultimately disappeared completely and became extinct.”
The last plaque was of a dark skinned Hominid and the plaque read ‘Humanis Africanus’.
Wroo pressed the button for the vocal accompaniment. The voice boomed soft and tranquil from above. “This was also quite a violent and vindictive species although initially subjugated by Humanis Europus. They fought valiantly against Humanis Europus in the last Great War but as a result their numbers were also diminished to such a degree that the species became extinct.”
“Fascinating” observed Wroo.
“Too think that such primitive species had once fought for supremacy of intelligent life.” Rong noted bemused.
“Fascinating” Wroo said again.
