triticale - the wheat / rye guy

Like The Song Says

It's a long way from amphioxus
It's a long way to us…
It's a long way from amphioxus
To the meanest human cuss.
It's good-bye, fins and gill slits,
Hello, lungs and hair!
It's a long, long way from amphioxus,
But we all came from there!

Actually, research since the song was written shows that we came from elsewhere, but the more we learn, the more we learn that it's been a long, long way...
