This is true.

This does not necessarily follow.  There are examples of interbreeding between species with different numbers of chromosomes, including mammals.

Horses and Donkeys crossbreed to produce mules, which are sterile.  I'd never heard before about chimps having one more pair of chromosomes than we do.  Interesting.  How many do pigs have?  It's been theorized one of our ancestors had pig DNA as to give us our nose protruding from our face..

  Youre kidding right? we could say the same about ANY animal with a protruding nose...

the evolution of our noses is mainly down to climate and our ethnic group

I think he's talking about Dr. Eugene M. McCarthy who claims humans are a hybrid of chimps and pigs.

This theory has pretty much been rejected;

Examples please...

 

Domestic Horse (64 chromosomes) x Donkey (62 chromosomes) = Sterile Mule

Domestic Horse (64 chromosomes) x Przewalski's horse (66 chromosomes) = Fertile Hybrid

Not always. Once in while you get fertile offspring.
