I was watching this show on the Discovery Channel a few days ago and it was about a moneky from back in the 60's that was found in africa and brought to America where it was on a bunch of Tv shows and it looked like a Moneky crossed with a human, it walked on 2 legs, and its facial features resembled a Human more than a chimp, it was later found out that it was a Chimp but some kind of sub species, but it got me thinking, If a human and Chimp could reproduce, which they can but no one has done yet for moral reason, Would it be treated as human or animal, would it have human rights? or would it be locked up in a cage and what would be right?
I do agree that it would be locked up and studied. But should it ? I mean its half human, it would have emotions and its brain would be further developed that any other primate. It could also learn a language.

Looking at you.
I don't think this should happen, but I know how bad we humans can be. The people in power and the religious leaders would consider it a threat. They will not see it as half human, they will see it as half animal.

They cant a species can not fertilise eggs of other species.

as i said different species can not reproduce succesfully.

Im pretty sure We're closely enough related to apes that we can reproduce, even on the show they said we have the technology to do so, just no one has done it and let the public know for moral reasons.
And I mean if Lions can have babies with Tigers why cant humans with Monkeys.
humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and apes have 24 pairs...if they cant match then they cant reproduce feritile offspring although probably could produce an infertile hybrid...experiments were carried out in russia i believe...professor Il'ya Ivanov
because one has a odd number of chromosomes and one has an even number then they cant line up during meiosis (cell division)
whereas something like donkeys and horses can line up because they have 64 and 62 chromosomes respectively and thus the offspring will have 63
even when hybrids like these occur they are almost always sterile anyway so wouldn't be able to reproduce further
First of all Lions and Tigers are both from the cat family therefore can interbreed (in captivity for obvious reasons) although you can hardly call it successful as the offspring are usually sterile and do not live very long.
Humans and Chimps are very closely related but still it is impossible to breed the to separate species.

I don't believe it's possible for one species to produce a fertile egg in another and would survive....That's what I've real anyway....And it would be like play making monsters if it was done artificially.
