A delightful play on scientific taxonomy and internet culture. The meme leverages the scientific name for humans—Homo sapiens—where "homo" is simply the Latin genus meaning "human" and has nothing to do with sexual orientation. Someone with limited scientific literacy might experience cognitive meltdown upon discovering they're technically a "homo" regardless of their personal prejudices. The "return to monke" meme format perfectly captures this imagined rejection of our entire taxonomic classification. Just another day in the lab where we classify organisms while simultaneously classifying human ignorance.
