[Merged] A chimp-pig hybrid origin for humans?

Recommended Posts

These days, getting a Ph.D. is probably the last thing you want to do if you are out to revolutionize the world. If, however, what you propose is an idea, rather than a technology, it can still be a valuable asset to have. Dr. Eugene McCarthy is a Ph.D. geneticist who has made a career out of studying hybridization in animals.

He argues that humans are probably the result of multiple generations of backcrossing to chimpanzees, which in nucleotide sequence data comparisons would effectively mask any contribution from pig.

Human beings being descended from "apes and swine"? Where have we heard this before?

I guess now people will know where they get their piggish side from.
