Caged ‘cavemen’ go on display at Warsaw zoo

WARSAW, Poland — Visitors to Warsaw’s zoo are being greeted by two “Homo sapiens” peering out from a cage — humans in animal skins trying to spark interest in man’s caveman ancestors.

Organizer Maria Mastalerz says the weeklong “performance” aims to attract interest in a play, “Caveman,” showing in the Polish capital. But she says it also carries a message that humans today are not all that different from their prehistoric ancestors.

Dressed in furs and animal skins, the young woman and man smoked a fish over a fire Friday, poking it with a stick, or stared from behind bars at startled zoo visitors.

The display runs through Sunday.

    Man is not equal to animals.

    If you would like to be considered so close to monkeys, go live with them.

    This display shows how dumb the theory of evolution is, yeah you evolutionist and your “neanderthals”, “homo-whatevers”, and such can live together in cages while the real humans gawk at you.
