Is it possible to hybridize an ape with human?

nope... they have a difference level of chromosomes,\n\n\nthey more than liekly could try.. but the results would be more than likely dead and birth from physical problems such as no lungs, or no heart etc..\n\ndifferent animals have maanged to mate ouside thier chromosome levels, such as the donkey and horse, and the lion and tigers (Ligers).. normally these animals do not last a full age and have birth defects.

A - because they are the same species and therfore have the same number of chromosomes, which means they can breed together.  homosapiens and chimpanzees are quite closly related but have different number of chromosomes so they cannot mate.  if they did manage to mate the offspring would be infertile, a bit like the liger, which is the offspring of a lion and a tiger.  chimps and humans have approx 97% of the same genes!!

some can, depends on the species

Post an addendum to your question - you don't need a whole new question.\n\nLeoin is obviously blissfully unaware (or more likely doesn't want to hear) that man and ape SHARED a common ancestor and evolution is based on branches not strength lines.\n\nOne more bit of amateur science to try to bolster an obviously wavering faith.

It is said possible but practically not prooved. It has never been done completly. Only until a specific state and then it was put into a utero. Especially not with humans as it is against the human rights. But technically it it the same with every mammal. But even it has not be done I strongly belief it is possible and when not now, then certainly in a few years.\n\nGreetings Dr.Seuss

No:\nThey too distantly related.\nAlso their chromosome number and chromosome and shapes and gene layout, and individual genes are vastly different, so they cannot pair up in the fusion that is part of of the fertilisation reaction.

They already are considered different species--even though they *are* genetically compatible (i.e., the hybrid is not sterile).  Some people believe that wolves and dogs are in the process of speciation--that is, they are becoming separate species, but haven't completely diverged yet.  Wolf-dog hybrids don't occur very often in nature because they have different social and mating patterns.  Nevertheless, if you stick a male and a female in heat together in a cage, eventually they're going to do it.

I don't agree.This is law of nature.we all living things are created in different shape and sizes.apes will remain as apes.monkey will remain as monkey and human being will remain as human being.only human being has got extra ordinary brain to think and Analise it

http://www.becominghuman.org/\n\nYou'll get a lot of the story here - nice site.\n\nMonkeys are not apes - apes are chimps and bonobos and gibbons and gorillas and orangutangs.  They're primates, though, for sure.

Apes and humans.  As opposed to feathered bipeds, birds.

We did not evolve from apes. I find it hard to believe evolution can create two different species.  That's like a cat evolving into a duck.

I don't think that was a documentary.  \n\nGorillas, chimpanzees and humans may share a common ancestor, but we are far enough apart genetically that interbreeding would no longer be possible.  Each species has a different number of chromosomes in their cells for one thing.\n\nIt would take a lot more manipulation than artificial insemination to get a genetic hybrid of gorilla and human.

Can you show me where in the article it says anyone wants to create an embryo which is half cow and half human? I only see it mentioning that they plan to insert human DNA into cow ova from which the DNA has been removed, to create embryos that are 99.9% human. I don't have a problem with that, and I think it's actually rather sensible as far as being cost-effective and providing sufficient testing material goes.\n\nHalf cow half human, maybe not. I'm not sure you could even 'fuse' cow and human DNA to create an embryo.

No its impossible. The DNA is completely different, and plus cloning was banned by the Geneva Convention a couple of years ago I believe. But if your like the other groups and you want to try it, have at it. But if you do clone it together, dont tell the press or you might just end up going to prison.

No! This is impossible!  DNA isn't compatible.

No even though where similar geneticly where not that close. I think the only species that can do that are a zebra/donkey and  donkey/horse

Humans did not evolve from apes nor the other way around.  However humans and apes do share a common ancestor.  This ancestor was not human or ape but it was the foundation from which they both evolved on two separate and distinct paths (evolutionary tracts). In fact most people have heard the apes are the closest species related to humans, but the truth is, Chimpanzees are the closet to us, genetically, physically and in mental capabilities. Apes and Humans diverged on separate evolutionary tracks about 8 million years ago while Humans and Chimps only diverged at about 5 million yrs ago.\nThere is a 4% genetic-sequence difference between chimps and Humans, which means that our DNA is 96% identical. But we did not evolve from one another, we just shared a distant, now extinct relative.  Hope this clears things up.
