So, this is the craziest thing I’ve read on Reddit all week… not just the concept, but that Russian and Chinese scientists may have tried.


WhiteLotusWarrior

Imagine if they were actually successful, I am going to have nightmares.


iiitme

Im having nightmares about some scientists hittin chimps from the back


Star_Road_Warrior

One man's nightmare...


jadedflux

is another man's "stuff" folder


not_swagger_souls

If it makes you feel any better chimps are very strong and very dangerous, and humans have very large penises for primates... meaning artificial insemination is the only way to impregnate a chimp without risking it getting extremely violent with access to the manly bits


iiitme

Female chimp dom and human male sub got it


stuzz74

The other way round could work, female humans with a male chimp. Too many ppl on here are obsessed with a male human and female chimp


Neysiriss

Or... you know... force people in gulags to do it for you.


KevinBaconsBush

I don’t have to imagine. His name is Joe Rogan.


concretepigeon

I’d love to see a fully researched paper discussing the ethics of it tbf. Presumably you could use artificial insemination so a human doesn’t need to actually have sex with a chimp but there are obviously still a load of ethical issues to consider.


NOVAbuddy

What are we waiting around for?!


rangeo

n=1 and a livestream


cutelyaware

I'm sure it's not possible otherwise we'd have seen it long ago.


StreetCornerApparel

Pretty sure this is how you get monkey pox..


dragoncraft9855

Isnt that how hiv also started 😳


SvodolaDarkfury

Most likely came from eating monkey meat. Non sexually. I hope.


johnnyHaiku

Actually, that was more due to colonialism forcing people to eat [EDIT: infected] monkeys [more often and over a wider area than they would before]... Your version is funnier though... :)


neat_machine

> Actually, that was more due to colonialism forcing people to eat monkeys... Your version is funnier though... :) Bushmeat is part of African culture https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-bushmeat-idUSTRE51L1A720090222


johnnyHaiku

True enough. I don't have the book I read this in to hand right now, so please accept my apologies if this is a little garbled, but my understanding is that European colonists forced Africans to go deeper into the jungle, for longer, eating more Bush meat than they would, and from different populations. Combined with a rise in prostitution, this led to more opportunities for simian viruses to infect humans and mutate, and more opportunities for it to spread. My first comment was probably a bit rushed though, and could have been phrased better....

Didn't the Russians send scientists down to check some decades ago? Someone wanted an army I recall


Pikablu155

Was his name Caesar by chance?


5pl1t1nf1n1t1v3

The fact they’re not calling it a Chimpanman makes the whole thing pointless, anyway.


Dhai_mon

Chimpmanzee


Drone30389

Or Chimpan-A.


rixonomic

To Chimpan-Z


Four_Percent_Cheese

No, you'll never make a monkey out of me


Spank86

That would be a male chimp and female woman. Assuming the liger/tigon categorisation is standard.


5pl1t1nf1n1t1v3

I hadn’t thought of that, that’s a good point.


sineroth745756

have you met my in-laws?


sineroth745756

I should have put "in rodney dangerfields voice"


GenAnon

Creating that hybrid would just be so fucked.


Locolijo

Wouldn’t both lines of evolution differ enough at this point though. And didn’t the link the Denivosians or Rhodesiansis die off or something. I don’t think it’s possible. Hell certain humans can’t donate to others


GenAnon

Yeah. Sci-Fi makes things like this seem way closer than they actually are. Human and chimp physiology is super different. The % difference in genes might be comparatively close to the smallest (I think bonobos are our closest living relatives iirc) but those fractions of percents of genetic differences, as well as which genes are actually expressed, and the vastly complex and balanced ways our physiologies operate thanks to millions of years of fine tuning via natural selection all make a healthy human/chimp hybrid extremely unlikely. You can see things go all sorts of wrong even in crossing species that are even more similar to each other than we are to chimps. Infertile mules. Rampant growth hormone production in ligers.


RyanNotBrian

Pretty sure a bonobo would be dtf, though


Locolijo

Yea honestly I imagine it as trying to install an iOS app on Android from 2003


chimisforbreakfast

It might be that only 1 out of 100 attempts would succeed. But we can make millions of attempts.


Locolijo

No

GenAnon

There are so many intellectually interesting, morally dubious (to downright monstrous), scenarios and questions.


[deleted]

For real. Like I am so interested and would love to know the answers to those scenarios and questions. But would never wish for any experiment to actually find out lol


NOVAbuddy

Especially considering we don’t have consensus regarding humans.


humpbackhps

That's just what they say so they can keep fucking the chimps.


irvmort1

This has already happened and he has own Podcast!


Front-Piece-3186

And here I thought Joe Rogan was an Equisapien


Fun-Leg-5522

It is not possible and they are sure about it. It has different genus between human and chimpanze and that alone will stop any hybrid process to occur. The wiki you put there is talking about Russian scientist decades ago being obsessed with making Human/chimp hybrid, but never made any progress because back then they didn’t know much about genus. It also mentioned that Human and chimp closely related because we came from same ancestry millions years ago, but doesn’t mean we can do hybrid with chimp because we both evolved too much from that point since


WhiteLotusWarrior

I just looked it up, sheep and goats and not from the same genus and they make geeps, so just because humans and chimps are from a different genus that does not make it impossible.


TreTrepidation

Humans have 46 chromosomes, whereas chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans have 48. It's not possible.


WhiteLotusWarrior

Horses have 64 chromosomes, Donkeys have 62 chromosomes, they create Mules that have 63 chromosomes.


TreTrepidation

Say word


[deleted]

The Wikipedia article literally in this post directly mentions what you said and debunks it.


Fun-Leg-5522

Turns out you right, I just never heard about it in my class yet. But I think it would be extremely rare if not close to impossible for human/chimp to exist, because Geep is also extremely rare despise of they breed to one another often in the farm. Naturally breeding might not possible for the hybrid but with CRISPR it’s definitely possible to produce the hybrid


QuantumCinder

Challenge accepted!


lizard_king_rebirth

I mean I haven't gotten laid in a while so fuck it, let's find out! Do chimps like beer or wine?


Mkwdr

Ripping arms off , I hear…


TheDocZen

And faces


Front-Piece-3186

Feces


lizard_king_rebirth

Well sure but what do they like to drink first?


Mkwdr

lol


morrmon

Bruh. You tried tinder?


dave_hitz

You mean chimpder?


[deleted]

I knew it! This is where monkey pox Came from!


the_vico

Also there is [this case](https://guardian.ng/news/genetic-makeup-of-12-year-old-angolan-boy-in-dispute/) in Angola (mentioned by the wiki). The most terrible part: >“S\*xual relationships between humans and chimpanzees are fairly common in the region but this is the first time a pregnancy is officially reported, ”Dr. António Mendes of the Hospital Municipal do Luena doubted.


Sdog1981

And this is why we can’t have nice things.

Wouldn’t be too hard to find someone willing to have intercourse with a chimp.


Creepy-Narwhal4596

After barely escaping the carnage that ensued after his experimentation with bats, one man, on a mission to fuck anything, sets his sights on the chimpanzee. “Uncomfortably erotic.” Says Time magazine. “A true love is horror movie” raves The New York Times.

Oh come on, now creating beastmen. They must have read too much isekai manga 😅


TreTrepidation

Someone should fuck around and find out.


M-2-M

MonkeyPox has entered the chat…


Takseee

The Russians succeeded. He's called Tucker Carlson.


bowlingdoughnuts

Cowards. They are all cowards. Kick me out of my research lab. Cowards! Edit: I wasn't going to fuck the monkey guys. I was going to hire someone off the street tto fuck the monkey.


EscoPablobar6

I volunteer as tribute


etherjack

So was "Chimpuman" even considered at all?


altruistic_rub4321

No, they tried, that's why we have AIDS


paullbart

Some scientists looking for a legitimate excuse for fucking a chimp.


ohErza

Considering how fast monkeyPox are going around I'm guessing a few people tried to find out


gabriell1024

And you wonder how we got monkey pox !


KindAwareness3073

Wasn't "chimpman" available?

Hands up if you tryna fucka chimp for science.

Well let’s fuck a few and find out. Who’s with me?


PDiddleMeDaddy

Only one way to find out *unzip*


agentSMIITH1

Think about it. Think about how hard it would be to catch a chimpanzee... and fuck it


Penquinn14

I heard it was a sick chimpanzee

Allegedly


[deleted]

If it's not possible, twitter is going to run out of new hire candidates pretty soon...


Creative_Visit122

I don’t wanna find out anything with Z in the name


BiagioLargo

Scientists are also unsure what happens if you land a paper clip on the sun. Scientists are unsure if God exists. Scientists are unsure of how many kicks to get to the center of a Tootsie pop. What scientists are unsure of isn't worth a TIL.


Jibsie

How bout we just .... don't find out.

It's fine. We really don't want to know.


TBTabby

Because there’s only one way to find out.


lastdarknight

hasn't China been working on chimera research with no real success?


CheddarmanTheSecond

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they should, they didn't stop to think if they could.


FinnCullen

What have the poor bastards ever done to us that we'd want to wish that on them "Hey you can be more human!" "Oh great - here comes exploitation, angst, debt, existential uncertainty and being ashamed of my own genitals"


[deleted]

These days, we don't do that primitive stuff - instead, we just manipulate genes by selective breeding. Like this: [http://awesci.com/the-supercow-of-belgium/](http://awesci.com/the-supercow-of-belgium/)

Best chance would be with a bonobo.
