This is kind of a cool poem.

Intellectually intriguing, as your work often is for me. When in hominid development did something like "love" enter into things?

I quite like the lines implying the lack of experiential memory, though I'm not sure that I really believe that a hominid would be so lacking in that. Is there research that suggests that? And if so, why would she reach for a partner that she would have no particular memory of?

Perhaps I'm misreading this, or overanalyzing it.

Anyway, as usual, quite enjoyed it. Technical note: I think it should be "Australopithecus africanus." Plural would, I think, be something like "Australopithecae africanus."

Not that that matters. 8-)
