The journal Nature had a piece May 18 that postulates the human-monkey lines split as recently as 5.4 million years ago. Previous research indicated the divergence occurred 9 million years ago. The new work by Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests the full split wasn't achieved for nearly 4 million years and might have occurred twice. Interbreeding started the evolution of a hybrid species that led to the species of modern man, homo sapiens.
We don't pretend to have the credentials of Harvard or MIT anthropologists, nor it is our intention to provoke an evolution-creation debate. But based on our observations, if the Harvard-MIT findings are valid, it seems likely that more than two divergences of man and ape occurred, and that interbreeding with other species may have taken place, creating rafts of subspecies of mutant humans who walk among us today. They include:
Homo sapiens corruptus: Most state officials.
Homo sapiens whinerus: Screeching-tire public employees.
Homo sapiens rudius: Department of Motor Vehicle employees.

Homo sapiens windbaggerus: Lt. Gov. Kevin B. Sullivan.
Homo sapiens incompetus: Florida voters.
Homo sapiens bloodsuckerus: Trial lawyers.
Homo sapiens shoot'emuperus: Residents of Hartford.
Homo sapiens exaggeratus (also homo sapiens bogeymanus): Members of ultra-left-wing groups such as MoveOn.org and other cockamamie conspiracy theorists.
Homo sapiens praevaricatus: Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
We'll leave it to you to decide what animals were crossbred to create these subspecies.
Ping.
Even still .... why are there still monkies of any species still around? And which monkey species in particular was cross bred, and where did the cross bred humanoid come from .....
They mean ape, not monkey.
The common ancestor, and the living non-human great apes are adapted for the jungle. Our ancestors adapted to the savanah. So why shouldn't there still be apes and monkeys?
More bizzare mis-breeds:
Homosapiens dementia: Rep. Murtha
Homosapiens Traitorius: Jane Fonda & Kerry
Homosapiens Loquacious Ad Nauseum: Liberals
