As Sahelanthropus led the march, he roared chants through a megaphone, including ''Uga uga uga chuga'' and ''free bananas for primates of all beliefs''. On the steps, Sahelanthropus, armed with a bone and a microphone, gave a sermon about the genealogy of mankind, with the audience interjecting with ''different schools of thought''. After the march ended, the Dean of St Paul's Cathedral, the Very Rev Dr Trevor James, met Dr Hilton in the cathedral entrance. Dr James joked about how primate was a title bestowed on some archbishops in certain Christian churches. ''It's good to have you here ... a conversation between science and faith is not a bad idea,'' Dr James said when welcoming Dr Hilton.
