Human-Ape Hybridization: A Failed Attempt to Prove Darwinism

by Jerry Bergman, Ph.D.*

Ilya Ivanov (1870-1932) was an eminent biologist who achieved considerable success in the field of artificial insemination of horses and other animals. Called “one of the greatest authorities on artificial fecundation,”[1] he graduated from Kharkov University in 1896 and became a professor of zoology in 1907. His artificial insemination techniques were so successful that he was able to fertilize as many as 500 mares with the semen of a single stallion.

Ivanov also pioneered the use of artificial insemination to produce various hybrids, including that of a zebra and a donkey, a rat and a mouse, a mouse and a guinea pig, and an antelope and a cow. His most radical experiment, though, was his attempt to produce a human-ape hybrid....

Ping!

I don’t see how Human/Ape hybridization would prove anything. It would be a case of Intelligent Design by merging two previous designs.

human-ape hybrid

that’s gross..and goes against God’s fundamental moral, natural orders!!

[Atom Smasher]

I have to agree here. This is just outright sick! Besides, it would prove nothing, because there was intervention by science, rather than the natural order.

Bingo!!!

Thanks for the ping!

A human/ape hybrid wouldn’t surprise me if some pervert did it. Lion/tiger, wolf/dog,etc have been done. Show me a manbearpig!! That’s what I need for proof.

[mamelukesabre]

LOL!

I read the whole article. It really cracked me up! Chinese people evolved from orangutans, blacks from gorillas and whites from chimps...AND JEWS FROM GIBBONS!

LOL!

I love this science! It’s funny AND un-PC.

They left out bonobos though. Who evolved from bonobos? I know, homos did!

LOL

[babygene]

I thought Obama’s mother already did this. OOPS, Shame on me....

[Migraine]

attempted to use ape males and human females to produce hybrids but was unable to complete the experiment because at least five of the women died

The apes probably tried to peel the ladies -- just couldn't help themselves.

[csense]

These experiments are the result of evolutionary thinking and they failed because their basic premise is false.

....Exactamundo

"They decided that at least five volunteer women would be needed for the project. However, in June 1929, before any inseminations had taken place, Ivanov learned that the only postpubescent male ape remaining at Sukhumi (an orangutan) had died. A new set of chimps would not arrive at Sukhumi until the summer of 1930."

What actually happened. I don't think he ever got the volunteers!! "In the spring of 1930 Ivanov came under political criticism at his veterinary institute. Finally on December 13, 1930 Ivanov was arrested. He was sentenced to five years of exile to Alma Ata,"

They probably all had high IQs but were still incredibly stupid.

"5 The project was supported by The American Association for the Advancement of Atheism because it was seen as "proof of human evolution and therefore of atheism.

"8 When applying to the Soviet government for funds, Ivanov emphasized the importance of his research for anti-religious propaganda.

Just Wow, those evo-atheists trying to advance their religion in the name of science again.

"Human-Ape Hybridization"

If the humanoids were Democrats, it would be an upgrade for the Democrat party.

Unfortunately, it would be a slide down the ladder for the monkeys.

[sheik yerbouty]

It accounts for James Carville though..

[Arthur McGowan]

“...at least five of the women died.”

It’s to imagine that this would have happened unless the women became pregnant—with SOMETHING.

It could account for a lot:
