Archeologists at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities realized today that what they believed was an all male species (otherwise known as Primate) indeed does have female members of the species. They discovered late last night UK Time the remains of a female Primate in the Nevada desert of the United States of America. It seems that the mystery of how an all male species like the Primates ever reproduced has been solved. The evidence of Katharine Jefferts Schori, or as Anthropologists are now calling the Shemate because of both her significance and her solitary example of a female form of the species, has brought about a proverbial Copernican turn in the scientific paradigm concerning Primates.

So, why is she the only one? Anthropologists, have been in dialogue with Sociologists about the answer to this question, they are puzzled as to why the male Primates seemed to be separated by their female counterpart. "Nevada, certainly is far away from the U.K." says one leading Anthropologist who was commenting on the traditional place where Archeologists have found the remains of this ancient animal. Sociologists have an answer to the question, they believe that maybe the male species were intimidated by their female counterparts, pushing them to the outskirts of Primate Society to lessen their influence.


"Remember" one Sociologist remarked "Primates look like homo sapiens except for those strange bones protuding from their heads, and of course the lack of female counterparts." So, now with the discovery of this Shemate, does this make them human. No one is jumping on that bandwagon too quickly, "one female in the midst of thousands of years of history does not make you a lost wing of the humanity." Says one Natural Historian. Yet some are saying just this, "Look, bones aside, everything else seems human, but why would a people group subjugate the female population like this?" The mystery goes on, these Primates will always keep us guessing.
