Is there any animal, closely related to humans that a human can breed with? (lemmy.ml)

Ok, I am not supporting bestiality here. But, I just came to know about a Dogxim, a dog fox hybrid and I had known for a long time that horses and donkeys can breed (to produce a mule). So, I was just curious, can humans breed with any other animals closely related to us?

The wiki says it's hard with chimps because we have one less chromosome than chimps. Down syndrome: "all my homes got extra chromies". They have an extra chromosome. Ergo: down syndrome + chimp = hybrid chimpmanzee.

Yeah, I don't think that's how chromosomes work

Thats how down syndrome works. Look it up yourself, smart guy. People with down syndrome have 47 chromosomes instead of 46. Chimps have 48, so down syndrome people are one closer, by mutation. That means just one more mutation and we're all set.

Now start work on making a monkeyboy.

Okay, let's make this simple enough for you. Pictures, everybody. Pictures for the man with the mind of a sloth. Exhibit A. Exhibit B.

Ah yes. And the man monkey in the middle! I bet that's what Bigfoot is.
