Scientist tells about the experiment of hybridization of chimpanzees

A famous scientist made a shocking statement about the birth of a hybrid chimpanzee in the US lab.

Evolutionary psychologist Gordon Gallup claims a former professor at his university confirmed the chimpanzee experiment - the one who had been successful in Orange Park, Florida, USA, in the 1920s, according to Mirror. . A female chimp is artificially fertilized with human sperm before becoming pregnant and gives birth to a young half-chimpanzee.

"They fertilized a female chimpanzee with human sperm from an unnamed donor and confirmed that it was not only pregnant but the birth took place smoothly and gave birth to a live baby. But only a few. days or weeks later, they began to consider the moral aspect and destroy the young, "Sun quoted Gallup.

Gallup assured the man about the experiment as a trusted scientist who worked at Yerkes before the research center was moved to Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia in 1930.

The earliest and most interesting example of chimpanzee effort is the work of the Russian scientist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov, who conducted a series of famous experiments in the 1920s. Artificial insemination for female chimpanzees, but no individual is pregnant. Ivanov is also the author of some controversial experiments using primate sperm, but his project was suspended and never continued.

In 1958, the chimp Oliver was called " chimpanzee" because of its unusual human appearance. It can stand upright with its legs instead of crawling with its hands, with a bald head with freckles and a raised nose. But a DNA test in 1996 revealed Oliver had 48 chromosomes, similar to a normal chimpanzee. Oliver died in 2012 at the age of 55.

According to Gallup, it is possible to cross humans not only with chimpanzees but also gorillas and orangutans."Humans and all three major primates are descended from a common ancestor. I think two terms are suitable for gorilla hybrids - people and orangutans - people are" hurkeys "and" hurang ". " Gallup said.

Despite admitting the very interesting chimpanzee hybrid , Gallup is not sure if the price for this controversial biological experiment will exceed the benefits.
