Humanzee?

Did anyone see the Discocery Channel show on the Humanzee? Have man, half human. I have to admit the thing looked very odd. Apparently this beast was on display during the early 1970's, and only recently has the scientific community started to look into the possibility of it being a true hybred. The story goes that in china they were trying to create a new breed of worker
, and they came up with the idea on a half chimp, half human.
There are days I feel like I might be Humanzee. I know I play chess like one one a regular basis.

I saw a different show in the UK about that chimp/man thingy. Looked kinda ugly if you ask me 😕 Bet he'd still beat me oTB though😳

yeah i watched and i thought at the end they got some scientists to test and it had 48 chromosomes (a humanzee will have 47 apparently) which meant it had to be a chimp.
mutation is what happended there i think.

i do however believe that it would be possible to create a hybrid between chimp and man (look at the liger tiger x lion). also given the fact that some tribes in africa have some strange traditions it does give rise to the possibility that there is a humanzee out there somewhere. it is a horrible thought.

they also mentioned that the US government were experimenting with that sorta thing back in the 60's and that they did in fact produce one. pure speculation ofcourse, but they did have someone who swore they did it mmm. leave that up to u 2 decide.
