Humanzee - Proof ( sort of)

Man evolved from apes? Scientific cross breeding? or Urban Legend?

I went into revenge mode looking for proof my xboyfriend is a chimp but stumbled on this incredible find!

Meet Oliver. Whom I also posted in another thread but his subject deserves a thread of his own.

One claim was that a common chimpanzee was impregnated by human sperm in a laboratory in China

The article says that there have been two shows about Oliver.
Two out of three tests confirm that Oliver has 47 chromosomes.
He didn't mate with female chimps and had a liking for human females.

I never really knew what to think about humans evolving from apes. I have read there IS a missing link somewhere along the way and hoped that was from some super smart good looking alien.

I find this intriguing. I hope you guys do too! I thought I'd share my thoughts and findings about it.

Genetic evidence

Human and Chimpanzee chromosomes compared

Looking back millions of years into early human history, current research into human evolution tends to confirm that in some cases, interspecies sexual activity may have been a key part of human evolution. Analysis of human and animal genes in 2006 provides strong evidence that after humans had clearly diverged from apes, interspecies mating none the less occurred regularly enough to change certain genes in the new gene pool:
"A new comparison of the human and chimp genomes suggests that after the two lineages separated, they may have begun interbreeding... A principal finding is that the X chromosomes of humans and chimps appear to have diverged about 1.2 million years more recently than the other chromosomes."

The research suggests that:
"There were in fact two splits between the human and chimp lineages, with the first being followed by interbreeding between the two populations and then a second split. The suggestion of a hybridization has startled paleoanthropologists, who nonetheless are 'treating the new genetic data serious
