In the annals of time, a shocking tale unfurled,
As archaeologists delved into a distant world,
Uncovering a mystery so ancient and grim,
Of cannibalism among early kin.

1.45 million years in the past’s deep embrace,
A revelation that left the world in a daze,
Bones scattered, bearing marks of dread,
A story of hunger, of the long-lost dead.

In the earth’s ancient layers, a chilling sight,
Echoes of a primal and harrowing plight,
Early human relatives, now turned prey,
A discovery that cast shadows on that fateful day.

The dig site whispered of a darkened past,
Where survival’s rule was brutal and fast,
Evidence etched in bones laid bare,
Of a time when humanity’s roots were laid bare.

Imaginations reeled at this unearthed truth,
Of a tale so primal, uncouth,
The world stood in awe, faces pale,
As the ancient mystery began to unveil.

Questions swirled in the collective mind,
What drove this act so unkind,
Was it hunger, ritual, or a desperate need,
That led to this grim and gruesome deed?

Archaeologists pieced together the grim puzzle,
Of a history dark, a past so muzzled,
In the shadows of time, a light shone bright,
Revealing a truth that challenged our sight.

1.45 million years echoed in the find,
A story of survival etched in mankind,
Cannibalism among early kin revealed,
A shocking mystery that time had concealed.

As the world pondered this ancient lore,
Humanity’s story felt raw and sore,
In the bones of the past, a truth so stark,
A reminder of our journey, from light to dark.
