An extrordinary find! Much is still unknown regarding the habits of Homo dumbwaiter (aka elevator man). Recent discoveries indicate a propensity for small groups to stand shoulder to shoulder all facing a similar direction.
Similar paintings indicate that the H. dumbwaiter would spend much of its life in this "vertially prone" position, though direct proof has yet to be unearthed.
A second theory hypothesizes that this now-extinct homonoid species lost is ability to fart. This occured through selective pressures placed upon flatulant, but non-breeding, partners. Finally the mating ritual itself is though to have been rather brief, almost similar to today's "quickie"
