I don't believe there's any reason to think that humans and chimps would be physically incompatible, at least, for our "private parts."
I'd expect those "parts" to be very similar.
(I've often heard that, contrary to our expectations, human males have the biggest ****, out of all the primates lol.)
There’s a huge difference in being physically able to engage in the act and genetically being able to produce viable embryos. This hasn’t actually been tested and human sperm can not penetrate the eggs of any of the other Apes with the exception of the Gibbon and those tests only showed that human sperm could penetrate the egg, not that there was an ability to reproduce with them. Our sperm can’t even penetrate the egg of a chimpanzee so no, there is no possibility of succesfulmadmixture between humans and chimpanzees.
So going on that premise, I don't find it hard to believe at all, that some guy in central Africa could have had a small chimp pet, and maybe he got drunk, and no one was around, and maybe he restrained the small chimp in a certain way, and...
Oliver was born lol.
You have a very vivid imagination but not much understanding of biology and genetics.

It really shouldn't be difficult to inseminate a female chimp with human sperm to test whether this is possible. They probably could test it in the lab.

There's another famous one, too.
Just do a google image search for go rilla tennis player.

very highly unlikely....we have 46 chromosomes chips have 48.....we diverged too long ago making us genetically similar but not enough...human sperm cannot penetrate the chimp egg...if doing a process in the lab most likely the embryo would not be viable........embriotic developement is a delicate process....
you would have to beat incredible odds to get a hybrid

I worked in labs doing animal research for a few years. Some of it might be justified but quite a bit of if bothered me.

Well good thing that you got out of it.
I'm sure you did not actually WANT to hurt animals, and I'd guess you were just in need of money.
All of us can be the victims of cruel circumstances sometimes.

Humans and chimps are actually closer genetically than the known examples of interspecies mating: Horses and donkeys produce a mule. Lions and tigers produce a liger.
It's much LESS of a leap for a human and chimp to produce a hybrid. Right?
