There are rumours that various experiments have been done with producing human-chimp hybrids. One scientist is said to have impregnated a female chimp with his own sperm, but got cold feet and destroyed the animal before the baby was born. We are very closely related to chimps and bonobos – more so than horses and donkeys are to each other, and I’m sure everyone knows where a mule comes from – so it is possible, if not probable, that we could breed with them. The problem with producing such hybrids is a moral and ethical one, not a genetic one. Mark V and GB are mistaken in saying two different species cannot mate and bear offspring. Many can, if they are closely related enough – e.g. horses and donkeys, lions and tigers, wolves and coyotes, etc.
