And humans are still apes.

If that is the case, let's see an experiment cross breeding an ape with a human.

[And humans are still apes.]

If that is the case, let's see an experiment cross breeding an ape with a human.

Why? It does not follow that different members of the same higher-level taxon can necessarily interbreed. Gibbons and gorillas are both apes, but they can't interbreed either.

Heck, there are different species of fruitflies which can't interbreed.

Again, *please* learn some biology before you attempt to critique it.

We are a different species than the other apes. It may or may not be possible to successfully interbreed, but that uncertainty is part of the definition of speciation.
