Leading Darwinist Advocates Breeding Humans with Chimps New Attempts to Interbreed Humans and Chimps to Prove Evolution April 22, 2019 | David F. Coppedge by Jerry Bergman, PhD A new movement headed by Professor David Barash to prove evolution by breeding humans with our claimed closest relative, the chimpanzee has gained credence.

Rep.
