...episode was a tribute from one cadre of cartoon geniuses-South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone-to another, earlier one: Matt Groening, James L. Brooks and their team of highly educated misfits, who developed Groening's crudely drawn one-minute Tracey Ullman Show vignettes of a chinless yellow family into a half-hour sitcom, nay, a veritable comedy cosmos that this fall begins its record-breaking 19th season...

But contemporary science saw them in a better light. With brains as large as ours, they apparently cared for their sick, made simple jewelry and buried their dead--perhaps in quasi-religious ceremonials.
