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?
uh…
🤨
Not anymore. We assimilated the neanderthals a long time ago.
Other close relative species don’t exist anymore.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanzee
There were multiple attempts to cross humans and chimpanzees, all of which failed. However, through gene editing, human-chimpanzee and human-pig chimeras were created.
These are just normal animals, but their inner organs are made to be compatible for human organ donation.No, not since Neanderthals, Denisovians and friends went extinct.
Even Neanderthals are a bit of a partial case, since the hybrid males were mostly sterile. We know this from the pattern that Neanderthal genes appear in modern DNA.
Where can one read more on the second paragraph?
Uhh, I think there was a Nature article about it. Per the Wikipedia, basically there’s just stretches of the X chromosome that are deserts of Neanderthal DNA, because when a Neanderthal allele is present and there isn’t a second copy, it’s a reproductive dead end and selected out.
Oh, here.
For a specific example, Ozzy Osbourne has some Neanderthal DNA which might possibly explain why he’s still alive lol
Most people of non-African origin (a fact that helped pinpoint where the mixing happened and when) have 1-3% or so, the amount varying by person and region.
There’s a documentary called Revenge of “Billy the Kid” that doesn’t go into too much detail, but might answer your question.
Conventional prehistory says there used to be animals we could interbreed with, but that we in fact bred with them so much that the hybrids replaced the creatures made to get said hybrid.
These replaced peoples were, of course, designated members of the homo genus, which Homo Sapiens (the scientific name for humans) gets its name from, and they include things such as (using their common names, not their scientific names) Neanderthals (geographically found in Southern Europe), Denisovans (found mostly to the West, towards Asia), and Hobbits (yes, hobbits, they were found in the Pacific). Nothing of note happened in America.
The Neanderthals and the Denisovans are of particular note, as their territories overlapped commonly, and there are cave findings that show they themselves interbred with each other and produced perfectly functioning offspring. I can only hope when they were engaging in the act, they asked to mingle and ended it with “no homo”.
There are, however, reports that, at the same time in prehistory, we did try to breed with other animals that haven’t been replaced, typically the great apes, as evidenced by lice samples found in both us and them, but that this, quite expectedly, didn’t lead to any hybrid outcomes.
reminds me of 8chan
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
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.
Him: “Which animals can I fuck?”
You: “This reminds me of canadian contract law. Also I can use this as an opportunity for language prescriptivism.”
Actually the question was, “which animalbcan I breed with?”. I think it’s important not to misrepresent the facts.
As for rogers, they didn’t have to pay Alliant because the court changed its mind after reading the french version of the contract. In the french version, it is clear the english contract means the plainly obvious interpretation, not the lawyery silent american comma bullshit!
The deal was a five year term, that auto renews for five years unless you cancel it a year in advance.
Alliant wanted to cancel the contract inside the first five year term, the gall of these lawyers!

hahaha
There must have been a misunderstanding, when I said I want to “eat pussy”, this is not what I meant
i didnt fuck my cat. i didnt cum on my cat. i didnt put my dick anywhere near my cat. Ive never done anything weird with my cats.
“I did not have has any sexual relations with that cat”
“It depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is.”
Doubt
There is a good reason for that image.
here be psychic dragons
wtf
Suddenly ing the cat takes on a whole new meaning
Not since the Neanderthals left us
Hey maybe we broke up with them. We don’t know.
Neanderthals didn’t leave us; they merged with us. Neanderthal DNA is well represented in our current population.
Yeah, but not their whole genome, and never at more then a few percent of the total modern human genome. It’s more like a remnant.
Maybe there still are neanderthals but they’re just really good at hiding and are plotting to overthrow humanity
Keep talking like that and you too can become the Vice President’s favorite philosopher
Who’s that?
That’s absolutely preposterous, I am still alive and my friends say I am one of them Neanderthals
Tinder not working out as expected?
Why else would I ask that question? Completely unrelated but you won’t happen to have any goats nearby, would you?
Homo sapiens are the last remaining species of hominina. Our closest remaining relatives, the Pan (chimpanzees and bonobos) diverged at least 6.5 million years ago. Though there is some evidence early hominina may have interbred with pan after the divergence as recently as 4 mya.
This is more recent than dogs and foxes by a long way, and about the same as donkeys and horses. That, plus chromosomal analysis and some other research suggests it could be possible for a human and chimp or bonobo to interbreed, though likely not create fertile offspring. However, there has never been a confirmed case of this occurring, despite multiple claims.
Edit: useful articles:
Pretty sure that we can’t breed with chimps and generate a fertile offspring due the mismatch on the number of chromosomes.
Yeah fertile offspring is almost entirely off the table here from what I can see.
So after reading the wiki, I believe the most likely successful attempt will be to mate a human with downe syndrome, with a chimpanzee. Let’s get on this. I wanna see some atrocities of nature.
Umm, I don’t think that’s how it works.
For the sake of completeness:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbreeding_between_archaic_and_modern_humans
Welp, now I am curious. There are like 10 billion of us, this can’t not happen.
Because of that one caveman, we are all shamed forever.
We’re talking way earlier than cavemen. The last interbreeding between our ancestors and chimps’ ancestors happened (using the most recent estimate I could find) a million years before the least recent evidence of the use of any stone tools. This is not a human that would be recognisable at all as a human.
Excellent answer!
Breed with? No, not since we out-bred and out-competed Neandertals. And Denisovans. And at least one other ancestral human subspecies in sub-Saharan Africa. So at least 3 ancient homo sapiens subspecies that we used to interbreed with, but none left now.
We still have their genes, so we’ve got that going for us…
I’m fairly sure I got more Naendrathal genes than human. I have so much hair, it counts as fur :/
I’m not supporting beastiality here… BUT
I like big BUTs and I cannot lie
