This version blows the punch line at about 1:48, singing "while a man however well behaved..." instead of what Gilbert wrote: "Darwinian Man, though well behaved at best is only a monkey shaved!" which is the money quote and the point of the whole song.

This version blows the punch line at about 1:48, singing
"while a man however well behaved..." instead of what Gilbert wrote:
"Darwinian Man, though well behaved
at best is only a monkey shaved!"
which is the money quote and the point of the whole song.
License copy and first-edition have what was sung here and was sung by D'Oyly Carte in its last productions.
Don't be ' picky ' , appreciate the general concept , ( 100 years ahead of its time ) , and of course , the brilliant music .
If you can't do subtitles, don't try.
