Human/Chimp hybrid...no really.

[tcchopper]

If you thought the hermaphrodite stuff was strange...

You may have heard of Oliver the human like chimp, who walks upright. It appears he is a merely a sub-species or mutant chimp. However, there are more bizarre stories surrounding the question of a human-chimp hybrid or ‘humanzee’. A respected American professor, Dr. Gallup, has claimed there are persistent rumours that in the original Yerkes primate research centre in the 1920’s, scientists successfully bred a human-chimp hybrid. The creature was destroyed/killed by researchers soon after its birth. He claims that as a young research student an elderly academic had confided that he had been part of the team.

Before you ask, no it did not entail intercourse, but still pretty gruesome. The human participant would have ejaculated, this would then have been placed in a syringe type instrument and the incapacitated female chimp would then have been inseminated. The human subject would probably have been a mental patient/vagrant orconversely one of the researchers.

There are also rumours that a similar experiment was conducted in China, however, when the Chimp was in her final trimester the cultural revolution broke out and rioting red guard members destroyed the facility and killed the Chimp.

A question arises, would you consider such a creature to have crossed the human-animal divide or are they still animals?

That still isn't the strangest thing I've ever seen on the Internet, the most surreal thing I've ever come across is...

Humans are animals. So being a human-animal would be equal to being an animal-animal.

Interesting...
I Guess that links with the 'Deli Monkey Man' stories from a few years back.

If you want the full stories, use these -

Link (Story)

Link (Reward for capture?)

Anyway, to sum it up, there was some monkey type creature said to be running riot in India, attacking people who slept on their rooftops because of the extreme heat.

From what i've heard, it was tracked back to a cave, where a single photographer went in to investigate (Horror movie, anyone?).

So yeah, he goes mission for a few weeks, police investigate the scene only to find his splattered remains and his camera.

When the film was developed, this picture came out...

That's its other leg. It's positioned behind it so it looks like its coming out of its ass.

That's what they want you to think...

I Still believe it's a big government conspiracy.

That's what I say to my friends, but they think I'm just crazy. Well, I'll tell you, THEY are the crazy ones for not believing me.

Did as much checking as I could on this.

It's actually a very serious claim from the holder of an academic chair to make, as Gallup is pointing the finger at Dr. Robert Yerkes as being responsible for this.

Throughout the 1920's Yerkes had been conducting the first experiments in to the cognitive abilities of chimps. How they perceived consciousness, how facial features and reactions related to conscious abilities.

Yerke's was also one of the early pioneers in the study of human sexuality, this along with the fact that the experiments were conducted at the height of the eugenics movement, gives credence to the idea that inseminating a chimp with human sperm might have seemed worthwhile. Almost all of the research was done with fellow scientist Ada Watterson, who was also his wife. Again, a husband and wife team may have gone much further than professional colleagues and been prepared to challenge ultimate taboos.

The result of their work was published in 1929 entitled "The Great Apes: A Study of Anthropoid Life", it's regarded as a classic. Naturally, the hybrid, if there was one, was not mentioned.

Yerkes died in 1956, so he would not have known Gallup as a research student, as Gallup is in his late 50's, early 60's at most. However, I believe Watterson lived for some time after her husband. If Watterson was the unnamed elderly academic who confided in Gallup about the hybrid, then the story gains greatly in credibility.

Chimps and humans have different numbers of chromosomes, making it impossible for one to impregnate the other.

Dr. Gallup addressed that very point. He said it was possible that the extra chimp chromosome sort of looped in on itself during meiosis, in effect taking it out of the equation and leaving 23 pairs of chromosomes.

As for unusual hybrids, you have

Ligers and Tigrons- Lion/Tiger hybrid

http://www.tigers-animal-actors.com/about/liger/ligerkrf.JPG

Quote
"When a male lion mates with a tigress, his genes promote large offspring because lions are adapted to a competitive breeding strategy. The tigress does not inhibit the growth because she is adapted to a non-competitive strategy. Therefore the offspring (liger) grows larger and stronger than either parent because the effects do not cancel each other out. In contrast, when a male tiger mates with a lioness, his genes are not promoting large growth of the offspring because he is not adapted to a competitive breeding strategy. However, the lioness is adapted to a competitive strategy and her genes still inhibit the growth of the developing cubs. This uneven match means that the offspring (tigons) are often smaller and less robust than either parent."

Ahhhhh!!!

The horror or a long text story with no pictures. I can't believe I actually read all the way through that one. I'm easily amused, but even this BS didn't quite do the trick.

Sorry about the lack of pictures, but if there was a human/chimp hybrid it was born in the 1920's and was killed hours after its birth so no photographs exist.

Here's a picture of Oliver who many people thought was a hybrid, but appears to have been a chimp mutant. But a hybrid might look like him.

Oliver isn't a human/chimp hybrid.

He is chimp that was born spontaneously mutated, but it is striking how human like it appears.

I'm not sure such experiments happened, but theoretically, it maybe possible to create human/ape hybrids since the genome between use is like 99% similar. Though it maybe harder to accomplish in more complex organisms, but plants have been known to not only cross with other species, but other genus too.

God they're all so disgusting. Mother nature is gross.

[Kooonsty]

they have put genes in plants that arent even from plants, im pretty sure they have used insect genes to make plants make their own pesticide. they have even given plants the ability to make their own herbaside
