Sorries was the nickname for the Saurian Hominids species, discovered in South America by Professor Challenger and brought back to London. They had a lizard queen, a brood female occurring once in several hundred thousand generations when their predecessor was dying or an expanding colony needs to divide. Dr S Prateorius used stimulants and hormones to produce queen eggs. Once the lizard queen reached puberty he lobotomised them to allow them to be factory farmed. A serum from the lizard queen embryo allowed Doctor Henry, a United States scientist, to regenerate a missing limb.
