Jag känner att vi glider ifrån fokus här, poängen är inte ap-människohybrider utan mellan de andra primaterna. Schimpans och gorilla, babian och schimpans t.ex. Googlar man så får jag bara upp att de är nära besläktade men inte hur nära.
Jag förstår. Samma sak gäller givetvis där. Däremot så lär det inte kunna ske på naturlig väg, men med verktyg som CRISPR etc så borde det rent teoretiskt gå.
Här
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koolakamba kan du läsa om en påstådd korsning mellan en schimpans och gorilla.
Citat:
The*Koolakamba*or*Kooloo-Kamba*is a purported*hybrid*species of*chimpanzees*and*gorillas. This alleged hybrid*ape*species has been reported in Africa as early as the mid 19th century. No empirical evidence has been found to substantiate the existence of the creature. The*Koolakamba*was referenced in the mid-19th century in French work by Franquet (1852, as cited by Shea, 1984) and in some descriptive work of*Paul Du Chaillu*from 1860, 1861, 1867, and 1899, some of which was republished in 1969 (Explorations and Adventures in Equatorial Africa).[1]
I samband med att jag letade upp detta åt dig så hamnade jag själv i ett kaninhål. Det verkar som att det inte alls är omöjligt med gorilla schimpansen....
Citat:
Although there has not been a documented sighting of the*Koolakamba*or proof of its existence in modern times, in 1881 Koppenfelds claimed that it did indeed exist: “I believe it is proved that there are crosses between the male*Troglodytes gorilla*and the female*Troglodytes niger, but for reasons easily understood, there are none in the opposite direction. I have in my possession positive proof of this. This settles all the questions about the gorilla, chimpanzee, Kooloo Kamba,....etc.”
In November 1996, a picture of an unusual ape (taken by*Peter Jenkins*and Liza Gadsby at the Yaounde Zoo, Cameroon) was featured in the*Newsletter of the Internal Primate Protection League*(IPPL). This picture showed a seemingly hybrid ape with wider face and a larger skull than that of a chimpanzee and smaller than that of a gorilla. The ape in the picture had features that seemed to belong to both the gorilla and the chimpanzee.[5]
Scientifically, it has not been determined if the*Koolakamba*is a subspecies of chimpanzee, a gorilla-chimpanzee hybrid, or perhaps simply a product of individual variation. Yerkes reported several "unclassifiable apes" with features intermediate between chimpanzee and gorilla in his 1929 book "A Study of Anthropoid Life." It is believed that these are regional races of chimpanzee classified as separate species by over-enthusiastic scientists.
Ang det fetade så hittade jag en bloggpost om ämnet som kan vara intressant. Bilderna på den påstådda hybriden verkar inte funka

Däremot så hittade jag en annan bild som påstås vara denna hybriden, tagen 1996 på Yaounde zoo i Kamerun
