New Species Discovered
They are referred to as “homo slackass-erectus”.
They were created by natural genetic downward evolution, caused by constant spineless posturing and spasmodic upper limb gestures.
New research has shown this to cause shorter legs and an inability to ambulate other than in an awkward shuffling gait.
The “drag-crotch” shape also seems to effect brain function.
Expect no eye contact or intelligent verbal communication.
This species seldom votes, but expects full government care.
Unfortunately, most are highly fertile.
