UM-Bot Posted January 31, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2018 A prominent US scientist has claimed that a human-chimp hybrid was created in a laboratory in the 1920s. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/315323/did-us-lab-create-a-humanzee-100-years-ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeder Posted January 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (edited) watch this then..... its a bit freaky,,,, and Ive chosen the shortest vid, .... DO WATCH!!

I think DNA testing on Oliver has shown him to be fully chimp but I'm not positive. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver could have been that genetic freak required to evolve his species. More than a chimp, but less than a human 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplybill Posted January 31, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I wonder if there may be a chimpanzee form of autistic savantism? This link is about an autistic ape at the Great Ape Trust here in Iowa: “That’s when they began to notice that he also showed various autism-like symptoms: lack of eye contact, strict adherence to rituals or routines, repetitive behaviors, and an interest in objects rather than in social contact.” https://spectrumnews.org/opinion/an-ape-with-autism/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hankenhunter Posted February 1, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'm still trying to fathom why they would even attempt this. What would there to be gained by a human/ape hybrid? Slavery, cheap labour, or much much worse? Some things should just be left well enough alone. Religion doesn't even enter into this. Ethics and morality should have scrubbed this when the idea was suggested. Sorry, rant over. Hank 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hammerclaw Posted February 1, 2018 #17 Share Posted February 1, 2018 An apocryphal tale that's been floating around for years with no supporting collateral data. It belongs in the same file as alien bodies recover at Roswell. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxcred Posted February 1, 2018 #18 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes while the other great apes have 24 pairs. Therefore the sperm of one cannot fertilize the egg of the other, so there can be no hybrid. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aearluin Posted February 1, 2018 #19 Share Posted February 1, 2018 10 hours ago, seanjo said: What would be the point of this "experiment"? To create a Human sub-species? If so why? Slave labour?...I see nothing good in this kind of experiment. That being said, I'm pretty sure it is impossible for Human and Chimp to conceive, so this is a fake story. I'm not so sure. There are plenty of cases of hybridation among similar species and the generic separation between humans and chimps is still quite recent. Most likely you would get an infertile hybrid, like mules, but I wouldn't be very surprised if it was possible. Still, as stated above, I can't see any positive outcomes of such an experiment. It's just onr of those "let'd do it because we can" jobs that usually lead to regret. If it was ever really attempted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMan Posted February 2, 2018 #20 Share Posted February 2, 2018 6 hours ago, maxcred said: Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes while the other great apes have 24 pairs. This is true. 6 hours ago, maxcred said: Therefore the sperm of one cannot fertilize the egg of the other, so there can be no hybrid. This does not necessarily follow. There are examples of interbreeding between species with different numbers of chromosomes, including mammals. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_mc Posted February 2, 2018 #21 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I wonder if hybrids have perhaps been born before. Now and then you read about animals, like calves ans sheep, being born with a human face. Then we have the story about the minotaur, who was said to be the child of King Minos' wife Pasiphae and a bull, the ancient Minoans worshipped bulls.

Skull deformations are not hybrids and the Greek legend was just their explanation for the Minoan bull god. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
