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?

Is 8chan still a thing? Honestly I like the concept of image boards and thought it was cool of 8chan to allow you to make your own boards. But of course image boards attract the worst

There were rumors of a human/chimp hybrid decades ago:

Despite the existence of Oliver, it still seems unproven:

The Nazis & the Japanese experimented with this as well. AFAIK neither faction ever achieved anything resembling success. Fertilization occurs, but then immediately stops as there's no compatibility, and the cells die.

Genetic testing basically puts a large amount of doubt on it though. More likely it wasn’t a hybrid than was.

You're short a comma. It's the American Ghost Comma right after 'humans'.

Remember that Rogers Telecom paid out a million bucks because it couldn't write a clear sentence.
