Can any two these animals be breed together? Has a chimp ever been crossed with bonobo?
Is it possible to cross a human with either a chimp or bonobo? Would this be illegal? Where can I get some chimp or bonobo semen? How much would it cost? Or would be better to use human semen on a chimp or bonobo?
Assuming that you’re male . . . what, pray tell, would you do with it?
(and I have a feeling this thread won’t last very long)
I sure (if it was legal), I could get a woman to help with the experiment.
Hey, somebody just asked about that. But nobody told me what a bonobo is. :mad:
Wiki has an article on some this:
We have done this topic a number of times before. The basic answer is, there is no real way to be sure if a human/chimp or human/bonobo hybrid is possible without making the experiment. Differences in the number of chromosomes make a fertile hybrid unlikely but not impossible. Animals much more distantly related have been crossed and produced infertile hybrids.
I am not aware of chimp/bonobo hybrids but I think it would be likely to be possible.
As to where to get bonobo semen, I would suggest inviting one out to dinner and a movie and taking it from there.
Wikipedia has some further information here.

Well, y’see, sometimes I just get to thinking about swollen bonobo pudenda, and, unk, unh, UNGH, aaaaahhhh ohgod ohgod ohgod AAHHHH!!.
pant pant pant
Aw, geez. Sorry.
Well, my Bonobo girlfriend and I just got done doing the nasty, if you know what I mean. 
And she was just wondering how to configure her BitTorrent client to download the lastest version of Windows Vista.
Yeah, see. In my experience, almost any thread that even mentions bonobo sex will inevitably go on for at least two pages.
That’s because everyone likes hot monkey sex.
I willing to be one if you’re looking to conduct an experiment.
Seriously, though, bonobos are very similar to chimpanzees (their alternative name is the pygmy chimpanzee). The two species look so similar, in fact, that it wasn’t until the late 1920’s that scientists realized they were separate species (bonobos were thought to just be young chimps).
The crude and nasty coments don’t belong in GQ reguardless of the topic.
Stalin had tried breeding some apemen. Here’s the first article I’ve found for it this morning.
What is the point of your OP? Doesn’t this cite answer your question?
Hasn’t there been at least one chimpanzee-gibbon hybrid? I remember reading that those two species are more different genetically than chimps and humans.
I doubt any such hybrid has been produced, since this article on possible hybridization in Great Apes makes no mention of one. However, hybrids have been produced between siamangs and gibbons; the siamang is basically a large species of gibbon, placed in a separate genus. I would guess offhand that siamangs and gibbons are more different genetically than chimps and humans, though I have no specific information on the exact degree of relatedness.
Frans de Waal noted, in Our Inner Ape, that chimp/donobo hybrids exist-- an accidental cross-breeding that happened in a French Circus. It was a male bonobo mated with several female chimps.
Do you know which species were hybridized? According to Dawkins, the closest gibbon relatives to the siamang (Symphalangus) are *Hylobates *and *Bunopithecus *which branched off about 8M years ago. *Nomascus *branched off from those 3 about 10-11M years ago. And because of that relationship (derived from DNA analysis, not morphological analysis), he uses the term “gibbon” for all the species of small, Asian apes. Whichever it was, it would appears that they would probably be more genetically dissimiliar than chimps and humans. Interesting.
If what you mean is flinging poo, then I know what you mean.
