What about that line in the Beatles' "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" about "Pleistocene porters"?

Because someone has a newly minted doctorate.

This new name probably won’t catch on, as it only exists as part of the ongoing denial by diehards that Neandertal isn’t among our ancestors.
