Humans are not exempt from this :D Although the scientific name for humans is mostly "homo sapiens", some sources use "homo sapiens sapiens" when contrasting it with Neanderthals, which are sometimes referred to as "homo sapiens neanderthalensis" (although most of the time, they're simply referred as "homo neanderthalensis").

But I admit it's way funnier with Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla

Just imagine if it were Human Human Human, it sounds like caveman speech, so no wonder it's so funny with gorillas, which are arguably a more primitive version of humans.

The subspecies-denoting repetition is a common phenomenon and I'm sure you can find many more such repetitions. Here are some subspecies of Pithecops corvus:

  • Pithecops corvus corvus (Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Nias, Borneo)
  • Pithecops corvus corax Fruhstorfer, 1919 (Java to the Philippines)
  • Pithecops corvus ryukyeuensis Shirôzu, 1964 (Japan: Ryukyus)
  • Pithecops corvus correctus Cowan, 1965 (Naga Hills)
  • Pithecops corvus cornix Cowan, 1965 (Hainan)

I see "corvus corax" in the list and I'm reminded of the Corvus Corax musical group that I enjoyed so much a decade ago haha
